eloquence,  by 
but  the  gift  of 
whom  to  the  country  and  the  world  was  never  more  fitly 
and  nobly  celebrated  than  by  the  opening;  of  this  and 
kindred  Fairs  for  the  Army.  The  Republic,  which  he  so 
largely  aided  to  found  and  rear,  over  which  he  presided 
as  its  first  head,  and  which  ho  loved  with  Buch  constant 
affection,  in  the  day  of  its  peril  ha?  found  the  Army 
which  lie  organize'!  nod  inspired,  mid  which  he  led  to  its 
first  great  victoria,  its  h<  rote  Defender.  And  the  grateful 
enthusiasm  of  all  national  hearts  for  his  diameter  and

with  n  ^onerous  sympathy  for  the  wounded  and  sick,

A  day  for  commemoration,  it  is  also  a  day  for  new 
consecration.  No  other  Washington  has  come  to  us 
-in eo  his  birth.  We  have  oftentimes  been  saddened  mid 
despondent  because  they  have  not.  In  the  strife  of  fierce 
public  discussion,  when  all  the  winds  seemed  let  loose  in 
uproar,  we  have  longed  for  another  presence  like  His,  so 
towering  and  majestic.  so  fall  of  authority  and  luminous 
with  reason,  to  calm  the  debate,  and  guide  it  to  just  and 
tranquil  issues.  Mn.sf  of  a'l,  in  the  dark  and  turbulent 
times  which  of  late  have  thundered  through  the  land, 
amid  which  we  more  than  once  have  felt  as  if  the  very 
pillars  of  Government  and  Society  were  shivering  and 
crumbling  beneath  our  i'e-t.  and  have  been  able  only  to 
see  through  the  lurid  battle-mist  the  possible  wreck  of 
every  thing  sacred  iu  our  National  institutions — we  have 
longed  with  inexpressible  desire  ibr  One  to  arise  as  apt 
and  competent  as  lie  would  have  been  for  the  great  emer- 
gency ;  as  clear  of  vision,  as  conscientious  of  purpose,  as 
solid  of  will  ;  beneath  whose  sheltering  plans  and  words 
iiie  people  might  rest,  and  mi  whose  Mrcngth — inflexible 
and  i'lCninenble  as  a  power  of  nature — the  Nation  might

The  heroic  and  uncono,u<-iab)e  fortitude  of  Washing-

It  is  thus  with  our  Government.     It  greatly  dares  and  aa 
greatly  should  be  sustained. 

Seneca  tells  a  story,  quoted  by  Montaigne,  of  an  an- 
cient mariner,  who,  in  a  great  storm,  prayed  to  Neptune  : 
"0  Neptune!  thou  may'st  save  me  if  *hou  wilt ;  or,  if 
thou  wilt,  thou  may'st  destroy  me  ;  but,  whether  or  no,  I 
will  steer  my  rudder  true."  Is  it  in  this  spirit,  that 
loyal  Americans  are  called  upon,  by  the  circumstances 
of  their  time,  to  stand  true  to  their  great  trust— true 
to  their  Government.  If  the  Government  goes,  all  goes. 
Moke  men,  perhaps,  reverence  God  lor  his  power  than 
i  for  His  beneficence.  It  is  thus  with  Americans 
:  Government  ?  They  have  looked  for  ninmfes- 
f  its  power ;  they  have  chiefly  seen  but  exhibi- 
ts clemency.  The  sword  of  Justice  has  slum- 
its  sheath.  Its  enemies  have  fallen  to  mocking 
they  say.     We  shall  see  !

PAIR  ITEMS. 
Soldiers'  Relif  in  3780  !— "  In  the  summer  of  1780, 

the  distress  of  the  American  Army  was  very  great,  on 
account  of  the  scarcity  of  clothing,  and  the  inadequate 
means  possessed  by  the  Commissary  Department,  to  af- 
ford a  supply.  The  generous  sympathy  of  the  ladies  of 
Philadelphia  were  aroused,  and  they  formed  au  associa- 
tion for  the  purpose  of  affording  relief  to  the  poor  soldier*. 
Never  was  the  euiTu'y  of  genuine  sympathy  more  nobly 
exercised  than  by  tin-  patriotic  women  who  joined  hands 
in  this  holy  endeavor.  All  classes  became  interested, 
and  thr  trsulf  iras  f/'«rio"s.  All  nnks  of  society  seemed 
have  joined  in  the  liberal  effort,  from   Phillis,  the  cob

Those  who  had  no  money  to  contribute,  gave  the 
(' of  their  hands,  in    plying  the   needle;  and  in   al- 
every  house  the  good  work  went  on.   It  was  eharit\ 
."ennine  (,,rm,  and  from  it-  purest    some,— the  vol- 
y  outpouring  from  the  heart.     It  was  not    stimnlat- 
the  excitements  of  our  day— neither  fancy  fairs  nor 
rs  ;  but  the  American  women  met,  and  seeing  the 
necessity  that  asked  interposition,  relieved  it.     They  so- 
licited money  aud  other  contributions  directly,  for  a  pre- 
cise and  avowed  object.    They  labored  with  their  needles, 
and  sacrificed  their  jewels.     The  ladies  bought  the  linen 
(for  the  shirts)  from  their  own  private  purses,  and  took 
pleasure  in  cutting  them  out.  and    sewing  them  them- 
selves.    On  each  shirt  was  the   name  of  the  lady   who 
made  it,  and  they  amounted  to  2,200.     The  results  of 
this  effort  were  great  and  timely.     The  aggregate  amount 
of  coutributions,  in  the  City  and  County  of  Philadelphia, 
was  estimated  at  $7.o0(j,  in  specie  value  !     Added  to  this, 
was  a  princely  donation  fr,. m  h'obert  Monis,   of  the   con 
tents  of  a  ship   fully    laden    with    military  stores  and 
clothing,  which  had  unexpectedly   arrived.     During  the 
that  followed,  hundreds  of  poor  soldiers  in 
Washington's  camp,  had  occasion  to  bless  the  women  of 
Philadelphia,  i.-r  their  labor  of  love." — Lossing.

hi  has  been  made  with  judicious  reference  to  the  ob. 

ject  in  view,  and  comprises  a  vast  variety   of  styles  and 

subjects.     The  lady  gives  the  book   to  the   Governor, 

ith  a  modest  and  touching  letter,  requesting  him,  if  he 

thinks  it  may  be  useful  lor  th  •  entertainment  of  invalid 

soldiers,  to  send  it  to   such  hospital  as  he  may   select ; 

We   believe   that    the    Governor 

proposes  to  place   the  volume  in  the  hands  of   Miss 

Lowell,  at  the  Armory  Square  Hospital,   in   Washington.

for  the  Blind.  The  second  was  held  in  September, 
1840,  to  raise  funds  to  complete  the  monument  on  Bun- 
ker Hill.  The  amount  received  on  that  occasion ,  includ- 
ing several  liberal  donations,  was  fifty. live  thousand  dol- 
lars. The  other  fairs  were  in  aid  ofthe  Boston  Provident 
Association,  the  purchase  of  Mount  Vernon,  the  Catholic 
fair,  the  establishment  of  a  Homoeopathic  Hospital,  and 
the  erection  of  an  equestrian  statue  of  Washington.  In 
the  amount  of  receipts  the  present  fair  in  aid  ofthe  San- 
itary Commission  exceeds  those  ol  any  two  ofthe  preced- 


ing quite  nineteen  years  old,  but  on  « 
lisease  had  marked  fonr  or  live  years  mote.  He  appeared 
terfectly  contented,  although  his  position  was  a  verv 
minful  one,  he  having  to  lie  upon  hi.-  back  and  unable  u> 
ise  the  right  arm,  as  an  abscess  had  formed  in  that  breast. 
A'hen  asked  if  I    should  feed  him  he  answered  cheerfully, 

I  am  used  to  helping  myself  with  but  one  hand." 
1  spent  many  hours  in  reading  to  him  as  lie  enjoyed  it; 
nd    that,   with  singing,    served   to   make  the  time  pass 
ileasantly.     The   patients  alter  tea   would  form  a  circle 

round  his  bed  and  sing  tunes  for  which  he  asked.  One 
if  his  favorites  ami  which  he  frequently  asked  them  to 
'mg  was,  "There  is  rest  for  the  weary."  and  often  we 
ould  hear  his  voice  joining  in  the  song.

OLD    UNCLE    CHARLES. 

In  the  roar  of  our  camp  in  Baton  Rouge,  La.,  was  the 
hut  of  an  old  negro,  and  hi>  who.  well  known  to  all  the 
neighbors  as  Uncle  Charles.  He  was  a  pious  man,  n 
member  of  the  Baptist  Church.  His  master.  being  » 
rebel,  had  left  his  house  and  buildings  to  the  care  of  this 
slave,  when  the  Federal  forces  came  up  the  river  and  oc- 
cupied the  place.  Charles  would  often  speak  of  his  for- 
mer life  on  the  sugar  plantation.  We  have  sat  for  hours 
at  the  door  of  his  hut,  listening  to  the  recital  of  his  priva- 
tions, and  hardships,  and  sorrows,  and  to  the  hum  of  his 
bees,  of  wliich  lie  had  about  a  dozen  hives. 

His  trust  in  Coil  wns  as-  simple  uml  .sincere  as  that  of  a 
child.  When  the  orders  came  for  the  regiment  to  pro- 
ceed at  once  to  Merilt's  plantation  on  the  way  to  Port 
Hudson,  Charles  was  very  much  interested  in  the  move- 
ment. He  made  it  the  subject  of  special  prayer,  aud  liko 
all  the  colored  people  of  Louisiana,  bis  sympathies  weie 
with  the  Federal  army,  and  any  prayer  was  deemed  in- 
complete which  did  not  commend  "  the  officers  and  sol- 
diers, their  deliverers,"  to  the  care  of  God. 

Among  tlinsi-  especially  remembered  by  Charles  was 
the  Colonel,  and  John  Brown,  tin-  Colonel's  hostler,  and 
the   Colonel's  horse  "Charles,"   his   "namesake,"  as  he

Celestial  Mechanics.— Thero  is 

original  in  the  notions  of  Celestial  mechanics 
by  an  honest  Scottish  (Fife)  lass,  regarding  the  theory  of 
comets.  Having  occa-ion  10 --o  out  alter  dark,  and  hav-

Mrs.  Chibbles  ha- great  idi'R-;  of  her  husband's  mili- 
tary powers.  "For  two  years."  says  she,  "he  was  a  lieu- 
tenant in  tin'  hur^'-iiianins,  after  whieh  he  was  promot- 
ed to  the  captaincy  of  a  regular  squad  of  sapheads  and 
minors." 

Innocence  of  Latin.— Just  before  the  resignationof, 
Bayard,  a  member  of  the  Legislature  moved  to  adjourn 
sine  die.  One  of  the  legislators,  not  knowing  the  mean- 
ing of  these  mystic  words,  voted  in  the  affirmative,  and 
the  session  was  legally  terminated.  But  just  at  that  in- 
stant, the  head  of  the  party  and  master  of  the  Legisla- 
ture, rushed  into  the  hall  aud  said  to  his  sine  dit  ignora- 
mus, with  violent  emotion  :    "  What  the did  you  vote 

to  adjourn  sine  (He  for  V"  "Why,"  answered  the  simple- 
ton, "  I  thought  that  meant  till  after  dinner."  He  made 
him  move  a  iv.-onsMcration.  ami  the  Session  was  remote*]. 

Item  for  the  Historical  Society. — The  Illinois 
Register  says : 

"  A  gentleman  who  is  not  given  to  Historical  research, 
invites  us  to  inform  him  whether  the  battle  of  Waterloo 
was  fought  before  or  after  the  surrender  of  Cornwallis  ? 

The  following  example  of  orthography,  syntax,  and 
logic,  is  perhaps  not  par  below  the  average  of  this  be- 
nighted district.  It  is  an  advertisement,  posted  at  a  road- 
crossing  in  Kent  some  months  ago,  copied  literally  by  a 
curious  collector  of  gems,  who  was  deluded  intoa  journey 
of  observation  through  that  region  : 

"Beirard. — Lost  or  strade  from  the  Premuse  of  the 
subScriberr,  a  shcepe  all  over  white,  one  Leg  was  blakk 
and  half  his  body.  All  pursons  shall  receve  five  dols  to 
bring  him  back.     He  was  a  she  goat." 

Did  I  understand  you.  Madam,  that  the  defendant 
stood  on  the  defensive?  "No!  you  didn't  understand 
no  such  a  thing!  I  see  him  myself;  and  he  stood  on  a 
bench,  and  fit  like  fury." 

John's  wife  and  John  were  trtc-v-Ute;  she  witty  was  ; 
industrious  he  ;  says  John,  '  I've  earned  the  bread  we've 
ate  ;"  "  and  I,"  says  she,  "  have  timed  the  tea." 

Some  time  ago,  when  the  Legislature  of  one  of  the 
Middle  States  of  America  was  framing  a  constitution,  the 
discussion  of  its  various  provisions  was  warm  and  obsti 
nate.  Many  days  had  been  spent  in  ticry  debate,  and  the 
vote  at  length  was  about  to  be  taken.  Ju?t  at  this  mo- 
ment, a  country  member,  who  had  been  absent  for  some 
days  previously,  entered  and  took  his  seat.  Another 
member,  who  was  in  favor  of  the   amended   constitution. 


very  importunate.  It  so  happened  that  after  tire 
light,  that  of  Plains  Store,  the  regiment  was  .sen'  iutt 
woods  to  support  a  battery,  and  to  bivouac  for  tin-  m 
As  the  enemy  hud  withdrawn,  it  was  supposed  the  b 
was  over.  Suddenly  the  enemy  opened  again  upon 
troops,  and  in  the  confusion  both  the  Colonel's  horse 
hostler  were  captured  by  the  enemy,  and  taken  into  Port 
Hudson. 

After  the  capture  of  that  stronghold,  when  a  portio 
our  forces  were  sent  back  to  Baton  Rouge,  Uncle  Charles 

he  saw  tlv  Colonel,  he  said  :  "Thank  (iod,  He  lm»

"W-HEBE'S   THEM    PANTS, 

Irishman  under  my  charge  down  at  Hospital  last 

Fall,  says  one  of  our  young  Brooklyn  physicians,  now 
acting  as  surgeon  in  the  camps  uear  Washington,  who 
almost  bothered  me  out  of  my  wits  by  his  strange  fad  ity 
for  getting  at  the  erathur.  I  told  him  he'd  die  of  deli  rutin 
tremens;  in  fact,  he  did  "sec  the  rats"  ouce  or  twice, 
while  I  was  looking  after  him.  But  lie  would  drink,  and 
somehow  or  other,  in  spite  of  all  we  could  do,  he  would 
now  and  then  get  out  of  the  Hospital,  and  come  back  in 
the  state  in  which  Tain  was  that  night  when  his  glory 
sin-passed  all  the  victory  of  Kings. 

After  one  of  these  rimes,  thcreioic.  as  the  only  way  of 
ehvetually  keeping  him  in  ihe   Hospital    premises,  I  took 
gave  thorn  in 


chagrin.  But  one  day  as  I  was  pacing  thiough  the 
ward,  with  quite  a  large  company  oi'  ladies  and  gentle- 
men, he  looked  up  at  me  with  a  cunning  twinkle  in  his 
eye,  and  sung  out:  "Doctlier!  Docther!  ain't  ye  through 


id;!],' 


The  huli.-s  stared,  while   I 


only  got  through  wid  ' 
laughed  and  passed  on. 

saw  he  had  had  me  at  an  advantage,  and  so  a  few 
nts  after,  as  I  returned  alone  thoaigh  the  ward,  lie 
>  me  intones  in  which  supplicatj.  n  was  very  drol- 
led up  with  threats:  "  Ah,  Docther,  dear !  now  let

ye  know,  the  next  time  I  sees  ye  walking  up  Clin-

CHARITY    AND    CANNON. 

The  multitudes  who  fell— scores  of  thou; 
single  field— in  the  bloody  hand- 
to-hand  battles  of  the  Old  World,  fell  to  die:  pitiably, 
hopelessly,  on  the  ground  where  they  lay.  By  hunger> 
thirst,  cold,  wild  beasts — lingering  often  no  doubt  for 
days,  and  enduring  more  horrors  than  our  words  could 
picture,  or  our  most  sensitive  iVneirS'-nnreive-  -itny  slow  • 
ly,  surely,  miserably  perished, 
the  hoof  of  plunging  charger,  the  fall  of  s 
missile,  or  the  merciful  tbruBt  of  the  enemy's  spear 
brought  sudden  death.  If  the  lightning  had  broken  in 
blazing  torrents  over  every  famous  battle-Held  of  antiquity 
and  smitten  the  feeble  remnant  of  life  from  every  sufferer 
left  on  the  ground,  it  would  have  been  only  a  new  illus- 
tration of  the  Divine  mercy.  The  heart  shudders  to 
think  what  echoing  groans  have  reat  the  air  there ;  what 

i  with  hunger  and  despair  have  torn  and  tor 


bappv  t 


■  iu;-.'lhv. ■[■■<! 


And  so  in  the  great  struggles  and  campaigns  nl  modern 
times,  until  we  come  down  to  almost  the  last :  the  whole 
energy  after  battle  has  been  directed  to  reorganizing  the 
Bhaken  or  broken  remnants  of  the  army  ;  and  they  who 
have  been  shattered  in  the  terrific  collision  of  battalions 
and  squadrons  have  been  left,  if  fatally  or  even  seriously 
wounded,  to  the  coming  of  death,  or  the  intervention  of 
some  chance-succor.  After  Marengo,  Austerlitz,  Eylau,  no 
great  humane  effort  of  France,  or  Austria,  or  Prussia 
interposed,  to  supplement  the  work  of  the  purely  mili- 
tary surgeons  and  their  asssistants.  When  Napoleon  led 
bis  crumbling  columns  back  from  Moscow,  no  Russian 
Commission  followed  along  the  bleeding  path  of  the  fugi- 
tive army,  to  mitigate  the  pains  of  the  wounded  who  had 
fallen,  aud  receive  upon  Christian  ears  their  last 
words.  The  yelling  Cossack,  who  smote  or  speared  them 
as  they  fled,  was  their  sole  counsellor.  The  bitter  cold, 
which  froze  and  buried  them  as  they  fell,  alone  adminis- 
tered  comfort  to  them.  Of  the  308,000  bodies  which, 
according  to  the  official  accounts,  were  burned  in  the 
spring  in  Russia-Proper  and  Lithuania— many  of  them 
the  bodies  of  Russian  soldiers— not  one  had  had  the 
slightest  ministration  of  a  humane  help,  In- lure  death  re- 
lieved it  of  its  burden  of  anguish.  Of  the  30,000  French 
men  who  were  left  in  the  Berezina,  and  the  neighboring 
marshes,  each  perished  miBerablj .  without  hope 

We  have  read  of  Salamanca,  Saragossa,  Badajos,  and 
know  how  it  was  there;  a  hand  on  the  purse  and  a 
poniard  at  the  throat,  of  every  one  left  behind  the  army. 
We  have  read  Victor  Hugo's  account  of  Waterloo,  and 
know  how  it  was  there ;  the  cut-throat  the  only  deliverer 
of  the  wounded,  and  he  by  chance.  Napoleon's  excuse 
for  the  over-dose  of  opium  given  by  his  orders  to  the 
plague-struck  French  soldiers  in  the  lazar-house  at  Jaffa, 
waB  no  doubt  the  true  one  :  that  it  was  done  in  mercy,  to 
save  those  already  doomed  to  death,  from  the  savage 
cruelties  the  Turks  would  have  wreaked  on  them. 

It  was  reserved  f.v  England  u>  —ml.  in  the  impulse  of 
a  better  Christian  civilization,  her  hundreds  of  volunteer 
ministers  of  mercy  to  the  sick,  and  of  comfort  to  the  dy- 
'  ing,  when  the  dreadful  condition  of  her  Crimean  Army, 
made  her  whole  public  heart  for  once  soft  and  hot.  It 
has  been  reserved  for  our  own  Nation  to  send  this  mercy

THE  POWDER-BOY  OF  THE  CAYUGA. 

One  of  the  intere.-ting' features  ol   i  he   late   Exhibition 
of  the   Brooklyn    Coll.^hui-   ami     I'oU  e-<doiie    lnsv.iin.te. 
was  the  recitation  of  a  poem  called  "  The  Powder-boy  oi 
the  Cayuga,"  followed   by  the  presentation  of  the  hero 
himself  to  the   enthusiastic  audience.  -    Gustav  Fincke 
(that  is  his  name)  was  a  Brooklyn  boy,  arid 
the  Polytechnic,  when  the  war  broke  out.     He  entered 
the  uavy  as  a  powder-boy,  and  was  engaged 
on  Forts  Jackson  and  St.  Philip,  near  New  Orleans.    His 
boyish  bravery  and  cheerfulness  n 
and  when  he  fell,  struck  with  a  shell  from   one  of  am 
own  ships,  the  hearts  of  all  mourned  for  him.     H 
words  were  :  "  My  God,  I  can  never  fight  for  my  c 
again  I"     After  much  suffering  (having  submitted 
amputations  of  his  wounded  limb),  little  Gustav  has  re- 
turned tu  Brooklyn  mi  leave  of  absence.     As  he  appeo 
on  the  stage  the  other  night,  we  could  hardly  believe  t 
one  of  his  legs  was  artificial.     The  dramatic  effect  of 
incident,  would  have  been  heightened  had  he  worn 
old-fashioned  wooden  stump.  But  he  felt  like  putting 
best  foot  forward,  and  who  can  blame  him  1    His  spe 
on  the  occasion  was  the  soul  of  eloquence.    To  the  thun- 
der of  applause  which  greeted  his  appearance,  and  1 
complimentai'v  kmguiejv  u\'  the  dignified  President  ■ 
Polytechnic,  "who  introduced  him,  Gustav  replied 
one  short  sentiment :  "  Thro:  eheei'3   for  Admiral  I< 
gut!"  and  waving  his  cap,  led  the  audience  in   tin 
sponge.     We  hear  with  pleasure  that  he  is  a  dutifu 
a  diligent  student,  and  a  beloved  comrade,  as  well 
hero  in  battle. 

The  poem  to  which  allusion  has  been  made,  was  w 
by  Capt.  R.  W.  Raymond,  of  the  U.  S.  Army,  and  « 


by  Master  Henry  Dauiell.     We   publish  it  for  the  first 
.     It  Was  Capt.  Harrison,  ol'  the  Cayuga,  who  uttered 
lobje  words  which  form  the  refrain  :    "  It  isn't  the 
ships,  boys,  but  the  iron  hearts  that  win !"

PICKET  CHAFFING  AND  ITS  FRUITS. 

For  meu  who  have  been  and  may  soon   he  again  in 

deadly  conflict,  there  is  a  wonderful  deal  of  good  humor 

between  the  armies  of  the  Nation  and  of  the  Rebellion, 
when  they  touch  each  other  on  the  edges.  Take  this  as 
an  illustration  ol  the  'hulling  bi  rwe.ai  pickets,  and  of  its 
not  unfrequent  result : 

'•Hullo,  Reb!  Dirty  fellow!  are  you  the  man  they 
'sussed  as  real  I'shitf,  'cause  he  was  so  dirty  f 

"  Pn-tty  good,  Yank  !  Reckon  you  was  raised  down 
South!     Are  you  the  fellow   twassosluw   the  lamp-post 


:  lamp-post  himself ; 


"  No— I'm  t: 

uoi  tire  up-top 

"  What's  th 
good  r 

"Coffee;  want  some  f" 

"'Taint  ginooine!" 

"  Tis  too'!  Rinse  your  mouth,  to  git  tiie  corn-taste  out, 
and  come  over  and  try  it !" 

-  Won't  von  shoot?" 

"No?" 

'■  Let  me  come  back?" 

"  Yes  !  Honor  bright !  Come  along,  and  bring  one  'o 
v. air  dirty  papers!" 

The  Rebel   comes  over,  sits  on  the  grass,  drinks  the 

jokes,  and  tries  every  way  to  get  information,  and  give 
none  ;  and  then  says,  with  a  sigh: 

"  Well,  'bout  time  I  was  goin  back,  reckon  !  I  swan,  fel- 
lows, its  good  times  over  here.  Reckon  I  won't  go  back, 
nohow !  Yon  jist  surround  me,  and  march  me  up  to 
camp  1  They'll  find  the  gun  over  there,  and  miss  a  gone 
grey-back."

One  day  though,  I  r- topped  ni  the  second  bed.  "Robert 
had  had  a  bad  hemorhage,  but  wofl  a  little  better  now," 
his  good  nurse  said,  ami  would  lie  able  to  taste  some  of 
the  nice  dinner  she  had  saved  for  him.  So  I  stood  and 
watched  him  enjoy  inn-  it  a  little  while,  and  saw  him  put 
carefully  back  on  his  pillow  after  it ;  but  while  I  Btood 
there  suddenly  the  hemorhage  began  again,  and  I  put 
down  my  box  of  lint  to  hold  his  head  while  they  ran  to 
call  the  surgeon.  Rapidly  he  grew  worse.  "  What  snail 
I  tell  his  friends, doctor?"  1  siid  that  evening.  "Say  that 
he  is  in  great  danger."     Robert  must  not  be  startled—

OUR  DAILY  RECORD. 
The  Sanitary  Fair  i 


a  lost  night  opened  to  the  public 
3  circa  instances,  nntl  pr.Tfil.Hl  by 
i  day  of  general  festivity.      The  military  parade,  though 
ictually  in  commemoration  of  Washington's  Birthday, 


General  Jesso  C.  Smith,  turned  out.  The  Thirteenth, 
Twenty-third,  Twenty-eighth,  Forty-ssventh,  Fifty-sec- 
ond, Fifty-sixth,  and  S.-vcni i.-th  Regiments  showed  to 
good  advantage,  wh ill- -the  Fourtecntli  was  represented 
by  a  band  of  veterans,  and  by  the  officers  and  soldiers 
now  hero  on  recruiting  service.  The  cadets  of  the  Poly- 
technic looked  well  in  their  neat,  dark  uniform,  and 
inarched  with  a  regularity  and  precision  which  was 
creditable  to  their  drill  and  discipline. 

Tho  procesdoni)  proceeded  through  Clark  street  to 
Fulton  street,  through  Fulton  street  to  Concord  street, 
through  Concord  and  Bridge  streets  to  Sands  street, 
through  Sands  street  to  Washington  street,  through 
Washington,  Nassau  and  Orange  streets  to  Hicks  street, 
through  Hicks  street  to  Montague  place,  through  Monta 
guo  place  to  Court  street,  through  Court  street  to  Jorale 
mon  street,  through  Joralemon  street  to  Clinton  street 
through  Clinton  street  to  Atlantic  street,  through  Atlan 
tic  street  to  Nevins  street,  through  Nevins  and  Livings- 
ton streets  and  Flotbnsh  avenue  to  Lafayette  avenue. 
through  Lafayette  avenue  to  Adelphi  street,  mid  through 
Adelphi  street  to  Myrtle  avenue,  where  the  parade  was 
dismissed.  Before  the  City  Hall  the  troops  were  re- 
viewed by  Major-iinn  ml  Dix,  <  'nnnnodore  Paulding  and 
Mayor  Kalbfleisch. 

All  along  the  route  liners  were  displayed,  and  the  sol- 
diers as  they  marched  l>y    were    greeted    with    applause 

veterans  of  the  Fourteenth  manilesiing  itself  in  hearty 
cheers.  When  passing  the  Academy  of  Music  and  the 
Sanitary  Fair  buildings,  the  view  of  the  procession  com- 
ing up  Montague  street  was  very  brilliant,  and  the  dif- 
ferent bands  rapidly  succeeding  each  nther  formed  a  com- 
bination of  unusual  sound-,  not  unlike  the  well-known 
'•  Dissolving  Views  ;"  for,  ns  the  delighted  ear  listened  to 
ono  strain  dying  in  the  distance,  another  more  beautiful 
approached  in  the  opposite  direction.  Ballad  time

At  seven  o'clock  in  the  evening  tin-  Academy  of  Mu-ic 
was  thrown  open  to  ihe  public,  tlnmjli  the  decorations;  oi 
tho  interior  were  hardly  finished,  and  the  attendance,  tho' 
nt  high  prices  of  a. (mission,  was  most  satisfactory.  The 
ladies  who  presided  at  the  different  stands  appeared  with- 
out their  bonnets.  -Mini'  of  them  in  full ,  veiling  dress  and 
others  evening  opera  cloaks.  The  stands  or  tables,  crowd- 
ed almost  to  confu-iun  with  the  numerous  gifts  of  fancy 
and  other  goods,  presented  o  teinptingspectacle  of  luxu- 
rious profusion.  At  the  back  of  the  stage  was  suspended 
»  eleverly-iuiint.  d  scene  in  n  he,pit;il  tent,  with  wounded 
soldiers  lying  on  their  beds — a  reminder  of  the  functions 
of  the  Sanitary  Commission,  and  of  the  object  of  the  pres- 
ent Fair.     The  sides  of  the  stage  were  draped  in  a  novel 

To  give  a  detailed  account  ot  the  objects  of  interest  in 
the  Fair  would  require  far  more  space  than  can  be  de- 
voted to  this  subject  in  any  single  number  of  the  Droji- 
Beat  ;  and  we  shall  only  attempt  to  do  it  piecemeal,  by 
giving  day  by  day  descriptions  of  the  more  notable  ob- 
jects. Of  these,  none  last  night  attracted  more  attention 
than  the  superb  album  of  autographs,  from  eminent  au- 
thors, collected  by  Mrs.  Gertrude  L.  Vanderbilt,  richly 
bound  at  her  expense,  and  prer-enn  .1  bv  her  to  the  Fair. 
To  thiB  album,  every  author  contributing  sends  not 
merely  his  written  name,  but  a  page  written  in  his  own 
hand,  and  consisting  usually  of  some  extracts  from  his 
works.  Edward  Everett  is  represented  by  an  extract  from 
a  Bpeech  at  Gettysburg,  November  4,  1SG3  ;  Prof.  Louis 
Agassiz  by  a  few  remarks  on  Embryology  ;  George 
Bancroft  by  two  orthree  sentences  on  Washington,  while 
Jared  Sparks,  naturally  enough,  writes  on  the  same 
theme;  George  Ticknor  contributes  an  unpublished  trans- 
lation of  a  Spanish  stanza ;  Henry  Ward  Beecher  some 
lines  from  his  speech  delivered  at  Exeter  Hall,  London, 
last  summer  ;  Wendel  Phillips  one  of  the  most  brilliant 
of  his  many  eloquent  perorations  ;  Charles  Sumner  a 
word  on  Liberty;  Charles  Spragnea  copy  of  his  well- 
known  lines  on  "  Independence  ;"  Richard  H.  Dana  some 
verses  entitled  «  To  a  Garden  Flower  , '  Fitz  Greene  Hal-

Kings  County  contribution, 

The  New  England  Kitchen  was  open  last  night  but  the 
dinner  offered,  though  abundant,  was  not  what  it  will  be 
i  subsequent  nights.  Th  kitchen  contains  four  large  ta-

The  great  monster  fireplace  has,  with  a  kind  considera- 
tion its  early  freaks  had  given  us  little  right  to  expect, 
i  eni-rnautly  consented  to  stop  smoking,  and  nets  its  part 
with  the  quiet  gravity  of  i',s  puritanical  progenitors.  Be- 
fore it  stands  an   olil-tit-'in :-.:!   spinning-wheel,   whereat 

an  industrious  dame  oF  the  olden  time  may  be  seen 
faithfully  and  patiently  at  work.  On  the  high  chimney- 
piece  is  a  pair  of  quaint  ■'••■  eandlestieks,  on  racks  against 
the  wall  some  rusty  old  muskets,  and  depending  from 
the  ceiling  strings  of  yellow,  dried  corn.  The  chairs  in

was  suddenly  called  away  to  fight  aud  fall 
for  his  country.  After  his  death  on  the  battle-field  it 
was  exhumed,  and  again  put  into  practical  use  at  its  old 
home  in  Stamford,  Connecticut.  Now  it  enjoys  a  green 
and  honorable  old  age,  and  ia  one  of  the  most  interesting 
objects  in  the  Sanitary  Fair  of  1804. 

The  Fair  was  not  the  only  attraction  offered  last  night 
to  those  who  are  willing  to  -.i,Lnd  nn.'ney  in  a  good  cause, 
given  the  first  of  three  interest 


arranged  by  a  number  of  Brooklyn  ladies,  whose  taste 
and  skill  deserve  high  praise.  The  programme  com- 
menced with  Flotovv's  overture  to  "  Stradella,"  followed 
by  a  reading  from  Sparks'  Washington,  Ehninger'a  pic- 
ture of  "  Washington's  First  Interview  with  his  Wife," 
was  then  represented  by  the  ladies  and  gentlemen  select- 
ed to  take  part  in  the  tableaux.  The  next  scene  was 
"  Washington's  Last  Interview  with  his  Mother  "  when 
she  spoke  the  wordB  "Go,  George,  fulfil  the  destiny 
which  Heaven  appears  to  assign  you.  Go,  my  son,  and 
may  Heaven's  and  your  mother's  blessing  be  with  you 
always."  "  Hiawatha's  Wooing  "  accompanied  by  Stoe- 
pel's  music,  included  two  scenes,  one  illustrative  of  the 


i'eKeQS    '  Ni.'i.olas  Xi.k!eby"of  course  suggested  the 
elineation    of     "  Dotheboy's    Hall,"    and    Tennyson's 

Priie  i  •-"  the  illustration  ot  tin-  words  : 


"The  Bivouac"  was  another  notieeable  tableaux,  but 
few  were  more  beautiful  in  either  design  or  illustration 
than  this  of  Dante  and  Beatrice. 

The  music  which  interspersed  the  programme  was  se- 
lected with  admirable  taste,  and  was,  too,  admirably 
played  by  Noll's  Band.  A  similar  entertainment  wiR  he 
given  to-night  at  the  AthenEeum,  though  with  a  different 
programme,  a  feature  of  it  being  a  series  of  tahieaux  from 
Dickens'j  "Dombey  &  Son,",  including  among  others 
the  death  of  Little  Paul. 

To-day  the  reduced  tariff  of  prices  goes  into  operation,

I  be  a  happy  augury  of  its  plea-

iNiilfit-.i  k'-i  of  i'uir  women  and  I 
counter  the  jam  at  tin-  Academy,  mid  the  risks  to  which 
their  pockets  were  exposed — that  il' t  he  nitire  Heights  had 
been  railed  in,  they  would  hardly  have  heed  the  crowd 
without  squeezing:.  Purchasers,  too,  were  numerous  and 
eager;  and  the  prospect  of  u  glorious  pecuniary  result, 
,  except  lor  the 


tit  ten  o'clock  last  evening. 

All  the  omens  are  auspicious,  and  the  anticipations  ot 
managers  and  committees  are  rapidly  rising  to  100  deg, 
Fahrenheit— whirl,  means,  bring  interpreted,   to   Half-n- 


JTN'S  DECLARATION 

It  was  made,  when  those  having  the  Fair  in  charge  de- 
clined to  take  a  subordinate  department  in  the  similar 
but  future  New  York  enterprise,  and  determined  to  have 
a  Fair  of  their  own,  with  its  articles,  buildings,  and  all 
its  apparatus,  provided  amply  on  their  own  soil.  It  was 
ratified  yesterday  by  the  multitudes  who  thronged  the 
Academy  of  Music,  with  its  outlying  'tabernacles,'  and 
saw  with  delight  the  collections  of  things  useful  and 
valuable,  or  curious,  or  beautiful,  assembled  for  exhibi- 
tion, and  hereafter  for  sale.  It  will  have  been  engrossed, 
and  signed,  and  sealed  by  scores  of  thousands  of  unnui- 
mons  visitors,  and  declared  thenceforth  in  force  forever, 
when  the  Fair  is  ended. 

It  was  full  time  that  it  was  made,  and  thus  publicly 
ratified ;  and  no  occasion  could  have  been  more  appro- 
priate than  the  one  now  presented. 

The  straggling  village  of  forty  years  ago,  the  town 
whose  inhabitants  in  LSJO  uric  hut  fifteen  thousand,  the 
city  of  less  than  a  hundred  thousand  in  1850,  has  now 
become  inferior  only  to  New  York  and  Philadelphia  in 
the  numbers  of  its  population  ;  superior  to  any  city  of 
the  country,  save  these  and  Boston,  in  the  other  essen- 
tials of  civic  prosperity.  With  its  three  hundred  and 
thirty  thousand  inhabitants— with  its  almost  two  hun- 
dred churches— with  its  various  and  prosperous  literary, 
humane,  and  financial  institutions— with  its  many  ele- 
gant, and  its  multitudes  oi  convenient  and  inviting  resi- 
dences—with  its  local  press,  intelligent,  enterprising,  and 
iutiuential — interlaced  with  each  other  as  all  parts  of  it 
are,  by  its  system  of  stive l  railways  -with  a  common  life 
pervading  it  more  fully  every  year,  and  a  public  spirit 
lately  born,  but  healthful  and  vigorous,  quickening  to 
new  activity  every  month— it  is  only  surprising  that  it 
should  have  been  contented  so  long  to  sustain  a  depend- 
ent and  suburban  relation  to  New  York.  To  try  to  per- 
petuate such  a  relation  would  be  to  contradict  all  laws  of 
growth,  and  to  vote  that  the  man  at  twenty-five  shall 
still  be  a  baby,  and  the  marriageable  woman  shall  find 
her  pleasure  in  dolls  and  tin  toys,  and  nursery  rhymes. 

It  is'well,  too,  and  beautiful  that  this  '  coming  of  age,' 
and  this  positive  and  final,  though  friendly  assertion  of 


future  civic  Independence,  should  he  consummated  in 
connection  with  an  enterprise  so  noble  as  that  which  now 
interests  our  people,  and  makes  different  churcheB,  dis- 
tricts, parties,  keep  step  to  the  music  ot  the  same  Divine 
Hymn.  The  uprising  of  institution-  for  the  various  cul- 
ture and  enjoyment  of  our  citizens— the  Mercantile  Li- 
brary, the  Art  Association,  the  Philharmonic  Society, 
the  Academy  of  Music,  and  last  but  not  least,  the  His- 
torical Society— had  prepared  the  way  for  it.  But  the 
final  step  was  not  to  be  taken  till  all  could  be  combined 
in  a  universal  effort,  humane  in  it*  purpose,  (.'liristiun  in 
its  spirit.  National  in  its  aimjund  splendidly  successful  in 
its  great  result ;  an  effort  in  which  not  merely  the  intel- 
ligence, the  fashion,  m1  the  wealth  of  the  city,  but  its  pa- 
triotism, its  humanity,  and  its  religions  force,  should 
equally  he  displayed.  And  such  an  enterprise  is  eminently 
that  which  now  makes  our  streets  re-ouiidwith  the  tread 
of  eager  thrones,  and  carries  a  glow  into  each  house- 
hold. 

We  have  had  some  hrUliai;t  cclel.vMion.J  here  before. 
We  shall  no  doubt  have  others  and  many,  equally  im- 
posing, in  days  to  come.  But  the  youngest  cluld  just 
born  into  our  city,  though  he  live  to  complete  his  century 
of  years,  will  never  see  another  celebration  more  signifi- 
cant of  the  character  and  growth  of  the  city,  more  really 


through  an  independent  Eim'klyn  L'uir,  that  the  towu 
which  sits  queeu-like  on  these  noble  Heights  is  to  be 
hostile   to   New   York — allied   with   it 

Ulv  li]jhtcnin_:  and    multiplying  bond-  — 


MY  EXPERIENCE  OF  THE   GREAT  FAIR. 
AM  no  fabulous  personage  ;  neither  a  travelling  s 


nor  Robinson  Crusoe,  nor  a  Bourbon  among  us,  nor  at 
intelligent  ami  reliable  gentleman  just  escaped  fron 
Richmond.  My  name  is  Watts.  My  wife  married  t 
Watts— and  so  that  must  be  my  true  name.  The  story 
Blutll  tell  is  equally  true.     Some  tales   are   admired   be 


xperie, 


The  i 


On  reading  the  first  sheets 
to  a  select  party  of  friend;;  the  other  night,  1  was  over 
whelmed  by  their  exclamations  of  astonishment  and  in- 
dignation. Jones,  who  lives  at  IfiS  ;  Spriggs,  who  reside* 
at  148 ;  the  charming  widow  in  154,  and  the  crusty 
bachelor  of  146  (all  residents,  you  perceive,  of  our  block), 
charged  ine  with  the  unwarrantable  publication  of  their 
own  private  experiences.  I  quieted  their  turbulence 
with  one  remark  :  "  My  friends,"  fluid  I,  "in  regard  to 
the  Sanitary  Fair,  all  good  people  ft-  i  and  act  alike.  Por- 
traying, therefore,  in  this  respect,  the  history  of  a  single 
virtuous  soul,  I  have  held  a  mirror  to  all  virtuous  souls." 
They  breathed  assemV-all  save  Jones,  who  muttered 
"humbug!"  but  finding  himself  unsupported,  even  by 
the  crusty  bachelor,  relapsed  into  cynic  silence. 

Not  being  one  of  those  distinguished  citizens  who  pro- 
vided the  preliminary  $70,000  for  the  Fair,  I  noticed  the 


effects  of  its  approach  first  of  all  in  my  wile.  Wo  are 
young  folks,  and  our  family  consists  of  one  remarkable 
baby.  My  wife  had  always  had  a  weakness  for  worsteds, 
and  of  late  she  had  lavished  the  products  of  her  skill  on 
that  extraordinary  child.  Inasmuch  as  Susan  was  not 
extravagant  in  other  respects.  I  had  hitherto  paid  without 

introduction  of  so  much  zeplivr  would  certainly  have  pro- 
duced a  storm.  But  now  I  saw  with  surprise  that  opera- 
tions were  in  progress  tor  which  the  existence  of  that  in- 
imitable babe  was  no  adequate  excuse.  Certainly  an  in- 
fant six  months'  old,  with  three  Afghans,  two  breakfast- 
capes,  eight  sacks,  two  hoods,  an  opera-cloak,  a  pair  of

pairs  of  socks,  and  knit  underclothes  innumerabie  and 
unmentionable,  wn-  snflirienily  provided  for.  It  was, 
therefore,  with  awe  aud  wonder  that  I  saw  the  beginning 
of  a  huge  Afghan,  which  assumed,  as  it  proceeded,  the 
hues  and  features  of  the  Star-Spangled  Banner.     Now  I

and  sublimity  of  the  "idea,  I  felt  a  Tearful  presentiment 
that  she  was  about  to  try  its  effect  upon  our  infant.  I 
knew  that  my  military  reputation  would  not  justify  such 
a  step.  To  be  sure,  I  joined  in  the  great  Pennsylvania 
campaign,  and  sojourned   a  month  in  the  hospital  with 

other   rheumatic  warriors  of  the  gallant th  ;  but  all 

this  did  not  prevent  nm  from  saying  on  the  present  occa- 
sion :  "My  dear ;  what  ore  you  doing V  I  hope  that  isn't 
for  the  baby  I" 

Susan  having  a  jjil't  ot  eloquence  equal,  I  think,  to  Miss 
Dickenson,  replied  impromptu  :  "  Yob,  love"  isn't  it  beauti. 
ful !  and  Matilda  is  going  to  make  one  just  like  it ;  aud 
we  are  going  to  have  a  table  ;  and  I  am  on  the  commit- 
tee, and  so  is  that  hateful  Mi-s  Jrwsharp— and  I  want 
fifty  dollars  to  buy  materials— and,  0,  Augustus,  you 
must  write  one  hundred  nice  letters  in  poetry  you  know

"  Susan  I"  I  said  suddenly,  in  my  most  impressive  tone, 
"will  you  have  the  goodness  to  tell  me  what  you  are 
talking  about '(" 

Thrown  a  little  off  her  guard,  she  replied :  "  Why,  don't 
you  know'?  It's  the  Sanitary  Fair!"  For  this  direct 
and  almost  manly  reply.  I  rewarded  her  with  a  green- 
backed  Fifty.  This  was  the  beginning  of  the  beginning. 
As  lor  the  end,  I  dimly  foresee  it,  and   long  for  it,  but  it

that  Hail    place.     Tin-   others   were  c\tmguis-hed    i 
bell  rung:  nine,  and  this  ceutral   one   was  lowered 
became  a  pale  star  in   the  twilight  of  the  room, 
night  it  burned  above  the  motley  sleepers,  showing  the 
sights  only  to  be  seen  in  u   hospital  ward  ;  and  all  night 
one  pair  of  eyes  seemed  to  watch  it,  with  a  wistful  eon- 
etancy  which  caused  me  to  wonder  what  thought  or  pur- 
pose was  illuminated  by  that  feeble  ray. 

Wearied  with  a  long  wateli  by  a  fever-patient"?  bed,  1 
took  advantage  of  the  heavy  sleep  t  hat  fell  upon  1 
rest  and  refresh  myself  by  pacing,  noiselessly,  up  and 
down  the  aisle,  on  either  side  of  which  stretched  the  long 
rows  Of  beds  covered  with  grey  urmy-blunkets,  and  look- 
ing in  the  dusk  as  narrow,  dark,  and  -still,  as  new-made 
graves.  On  one  of  these  beds  lay  the  watcher  of  the 
light— a  rough,  dark  man,  with  keen  eyes,  and  a  mauo  of 
long  black  hair,  which  ho  never  would  have  cut,  although 
it  caused  him  to  be  christened  "Absalom  Touser"  by  his 
mutes.  Stern  and  silent  was  this  Hunt,  showing  a  grim 
sort  of  fortitude  and  patience  under  great  Buffering, 
which  won  respect  but  not  affect  inn  ;  for  he  also  possess- 
ed gruff  manners,  and  a  decidedly  "  let-me-alone"  expres- 
sion of  countenance.  Very  short  answers  were  all  any 
questioner  received,  and  an  absent  "Thanky,  ma'am" 
was  the  only  acknowledgment  of  the  daily  cares  it  was 
my  duty  to  bestow  upon  him. 

Though  the  most  im-rarious  and  unpromising  of  all 
my  boys,  that  one  habit  of  his  made  him  interesting  to 
me,  and  for  several  days  I  had  been  taking  reconnois- 
sanccs  and  preparing  to  steal  u  march  upon  him,  fancying 
that  be  had  soincrliin-  uii  his  mind,  and  would  be  the 
easier  for  telling  it.  By  dny  he  slept  much,  or  appeared 
to  do  so,  for  tuimng  his  face  to  the  wall  be  drew  his  long 
hair  over  his  eyes,  and  either  shut  out  the  world  entirely 
or  viewed  it  stealthily  from  behind  that    screen.     But  at 

myself,  be  emerged  from  his  covert,  folded  his  arms  under 
his  head,  and  lay  staring  fixedly  at  the  light  us  if  it  had 
>nme  irresistible  fascination  1-t  him.  He  took  no  heed  of 
me,  and  I  seldom  spoke  ;  but  while  apparently  unmindful 
of  him,  I  watched  the  varying  expression  of  his  face ;  some- 
eager,  but  of  late  grave  and  steady,  as  if  the  dull  lamp 
hud  3hed  a  coniform bl    ;<;l.  am  u|im.-ome  unsioua  thought

"  Thank  ye.  ma'am.     I  guess  I  si 
nut  single. banded  :   if  I  can'!,  I'll  let  you  know." 

Still  hoping  to  win  the  confidence  which  sooner  or  later 
was  pretty  sun1  to  be  bestowed,  I  dropped  that  subject 
and  took  up  another,  which  usually  proved  an  agreeable 
one  to  the  boys,  because  so  lull  of  personal  interest.

"  Your  wound  is  getting  on  bravely.  Do  you  know  Dr. 
Cutter  says  you  won't  have  to  lose  the  knee  joint  alter

seemed  more  intent  upon  some  happier  fact  tin 
preservation  of  the  joint,  the  loss  of  which  would 
entailed  greater  suffering,  danger  and  helplessness  "  He 
thinks  its  owing  to  my  being  still  and  so  on,  does  he';" 
was  all  the  answer  Hunt  made  me. 

"  Yes,  he  says  that  when  you  came  he  was  afraid  you 
were  going  to  have  a  bad  time  of  it,  because  your  leg 
was  not  well  amputated  and  you  were  a  restless,  excita- 
ble person.  b,  you  very  pleasantly  disappointed  him  ; 
and  here  you  are  doing  well,  thanks  to  your  self-control, 

keep  your  thoughts  from  your  wound." 

He  drew  a  long  breath,  gav<^  a  satisfied  little  nod,  and 
said  as  if  to  himself: 

"  I  guess  the  thinking  did  it." 

Seeing  signs  of  promise   in  the   hall  smile  that  seemed 
to  break  out  against  his    will,  and  the   nod,  so  strongly 
relief,  I  pursued  the  pro-

"  Don't  the   water  make  your  hands  dreadful  cold,

It  did  ;  but  I  could  have  clapped  them  both  warm

to  dinuer.  It  was  a  most  liberal  meal— chicken  ]'ic,  roast 
beef  and  veal,  pork  and  beans,  white  and  brown  bread, 
potatoes  in  various  styles,  pickles,  tea,  coffee,  cider,  pud- 
dings, and  mince  and  |.umpkin  pies  all  formed  a  dinner, 
clean,  wholesome,  substantial  and  good.  la  this  point, 
the  dinners  of  the  New  England  Kitchen  have  not  the 
slightest  element  of  humbug.  There  is  nothing  of  the 
delusion  and  the  ;nare  about  them.  They  are  well 
worth  the  fifty  cents  which  is  rhanred,  andare better  and 
more  plentiful  than  can  be  obtained    for  that  sum  in  any 


(.■is  each,  and  the 


hundred  of 
at  two  dol- 
lars each,  adding  to  the  treasury  the  sum  of  thirteen 
thousand  eight  bundled  dollars.  The  sates  already 
made,  including  such  items  as  the  one  hundred  and 
seventy-five  dollar  cake,  a  hundred  and  fifty  dollar  Af- 
ghan and  others  at  one  hundred  dollars  each,  carry-  the 
receipts  (up  to  this  morning)  to  about  twenty  thousand 
dollars,  as  near  as  can  be  estimated  from  the  incomplete 
returns  made  to  the  Treasurer. 

The  reduced  rates  of  {tdmis-ion  have  had  a  Very  happy 
effect,  as  the  vast  crowds  who  to-day  visited  the  Fair 
have  proved  ;  and  indeed  mi  great  is  the  rush  of  visitors, 
that  it  has  become  absolutely  neeessary  to  raise  the 
prices  again,  not  from  any  feeling  of  exelusivencss,  as 
has  been  foolishly  alleged  by  some  persons,  but  simply 
because  the  buildings  will  not  hold  more  than  half  of  the 
folks  who  wish  to  inspect  their  contents. 

We  are  gratified  to  announce  to  our  readers  the  eu- 
rouraging  success  of  the  DlU'M  Bl'.AT,  the  sale  being  so 
large  that  we  ore  not  able  to  fill  all  the  orders  received. 

preclude  the  possibility  m  an  unlimited  issue,  and  as  it 
is  but  right  that  the  people  of  Brooklyn  should  have  the 
first  chance  at  it,  we  hope  our  friends  in  New  York  will 
excuse  our  inability  to  meet  all  their  demands.  Our  ad- 
vice to  all  is,  to  buy  the  Drum  Beat  of  the  first  news- 
boy you  meet ;  and  to  remember  that  every  number  you 
of  the   Sanitary   Commission  and  en- 


This  is,  too,  making  no  allowance  for  the  supreme  sat-; 
infection  of  having  pickles  passed  to  you  by  a  good  dame,  j 
who  from  her  short  waist,  high  comb,  and  astonishing 
mode  of  doing  up  her  back  httir,  evidently  dates  from  the 
early  part  of  the  eighteenth  century  ;  c 
-i-euriry  which  one  cannot  fail    to    expi

The  receipts  of  the  Fair  up  to  the  moment  of  going  to

satisfactory.     By  six  o'clock  last  night  no  less  than  six

THE   FAIR. 

Another  day  of  delightful  weather  has  favored  the 
Sanitary  Fair,  and  many  thousands  of  our  citizens  and 
strangers  took  advantage  of  it  to  visit  the  Exhibition. 
The  increased  charges  for  admission  seemed  to  moke  lit- 
tle or  nc  difference  in  the  numbers  present,  and  the 
Academy  and  adjacent  buildings  were  yesterday  as 
crowded  as  on  the  previous  days.  The  eating  arrange- 
ments had  been  improved,  and  in  every  respect  the  ma- 
chinery of  the  great  F  air  moved  smoother  than  before. 

The  total  receipts  for  entrance  tickets  sold  up  to  last 
evening  were  eighteen  thousand  eight  hundred  and 
three  dollars.  The  sales  have  amounted  to  nineteen 
thousand  two  hundred  and  fifty  dollnrs  ;  and  Cash  con- 
tributions amount  to  nineteen  thousand  sis  hundred 
and  fourteen  dollars. 

The  previous  receipts  in  the  Treasurer's  hands  from 
all  sources  amounted  to  fifty-nine  thousand  five  hundred 
and  seventy -eight  dollars.  Total  cash  in  hands  of  Treas- 
urer last  night  ?117,23G. 

The  Executive  Committee,  in  view  of  the  great  rush 
to  the  Fair — necessitating  last  night  the  closing  of  the 

doors  aB  early  as  eight  P.  M., advise  visitors  from  New

G    ISLAND. 

Island,  is  that  it  extends  for  a  hundred  mil 
less,  due  east  from  the  Ridgewood  Reservoir 
twenty  miles  in  width  ;  is  as  flat  aa  a  floor,   with 
several  degrees    dryer  than  brick  dust ;  is  nearly 

penter's  bench,  and  about  as  generally  and  generously 
fertile  as  a  graveled  roof  after  the  winds  have  powdered 
it  with  dust.  That  such  a  piece  of  country  should  have 
had  any  pleasant  and  inspiriting  history,  should  now 
have  any  rich  resources,  or  "show  any  hardy  and  intelli- 
gent life  happily  developed  among  the  people  who  inhabit 
it— this  is  to  such  a  thing  incredible.  Their  idea  of  the 
Island  resembles  it,  more  than  anything  else,  to  an  enor- 
mous strip  of  dirty  brown  flannel ;  intended  originally  tc 
swathe  the  chared  shores  of  Connecticut  and  New  York 
but  dropped  unluckily  twenty  miles  out  at  sea,  and 
though  useless  there,  too  big  to  be  picked  up  and  applied 
to  the  parts  it  was  meant  to  cover,  by  any  tiling  less  than 
the  fingei'3  of  an  earthquake  1  Brooklyn  Heights  they

try,  from  there  to  the  Lighthouse  on  Moutauk  Point, 
they  suppose  to  bo  made  up  of  Band-plains,  pine  woods, 
and  scrub-oak  barriers. 

It  is  one  and  a  great  incidental  good  effect  of  the  pre- 
sent Fair   that  it  will    make    Brooklyn  itself    bettor 
■  Island  on  which  it  stands,  and  will 
/isit  us  from  abroad  how  industrious, 


theFAUt 

Long  Island  is,  in  fact,  remarkable  on  its  northern 

ores  for  an  undulating,  picturesque  and  diversified  Bur- 

:e  ;    sometimes  rising  into  abrupt  and  high  bills  ;  often 

pierced  by  short  and  deep  inlets  Irom  the  sea ;  with 

noisy,  and   villages  as  bright,   as  any  found 

among    the    Green    Mountains ;   with  farms    as  easily 

•    divided  as  are  those  of  Vermont  into 

uplands,  for  tillage  and  for  pasturage.     On

lore  level.    But  the  soil  even  there  i 

swarding;  the  lands  are  well  watered- 

l  a  drought,  nor  soaked  and  drowned 

lin ;  the  orchards  are  fruitful ;  the  roads  arc  excellent ; 

nd  the  delicious  sea  air,  fresh  from  the  ocean — which  is 
all  that  separates  the  bar  beyond  the  South  Bay  from 
Cuba — with  the  birds  and  fish  which  are  the  constant 
of  the  Bay,  make  this  part  of  the  Island  even  more 
delightful,  especially  in  summer,  to  tourists  and  visitors 

those  who  dwell  on  it. 

Long  Island  has  had  too  n  history  to  be  proud  of.  Af- 
ter the  City  of  New  York,  it  was  the  first  part  of  the 
State  to  be  settled,  by  both  the  Dutch  and  English  col- 
onists. Hudson  and  his  men  landed  on  Coney  Island  in 
1G09.     Southold  was  settled  in   1640.    The  Hamptons 

Kilo,  and  Newtown   and  Jamaica  not  long  afterwards. 
Previous  to  the  Revolution,  the  Island  was  far  the  most 
important  part  of  the  whole  colony.     A  century  ago, 
its  popnlatiou  was  larger  than  that  of  the  City  of  New 
York  ;  and  was  more  than  one-third  of  that  of  the  entire 
province.     The  great  patents  of  Suffolk  County— one  ol 
them  covering  30,000 
square  miles — fufhishi 
baronial  ['u^e^'inns  and  dignity.  The  first  Academy  in 
State  was  established  at  East  Hampton,  in  1785.     "  E 
mus  Hall,"  at  Flatbush,  was    its    immediate  succee 
One  of  the  earliest  papers,  the  Suffolk  Ecraltl,  was  ] 
UshedinlTOl.     The  first  paper  mill  in  the   State 
built  at  Roslyn.     A  race-course  was  established  on  Hemp- 
stead plains  two  hundred  years  ago  ;  and  Sag  Harbor,  u 
the  palmier  days  of  the  whale  fishing,  was  one  of  th 
most  important  stations  of  that  adventurous  and  profits 
ble  enterprise. 

Some  of  the  most  eminent  men  of  the  State,  too,  an< 
even  of  the  Nation,  were  either  born  upon  the  Islaud,  oi 
having  had  the  misfortune  to  be  born  elsewhere,  di 
what  they  conld  to  amend  their  condition  by  choosing  i 
for  their  residence.  Egbert  Benson,  Rufus  King,  Mr-lam 
thon  Smith,  Cadwallader  D.  Colden,  the  two  Samut 
Joneses,  Judge  Radcliffe,  William  Floyd  and  Daniel 
Lewis,  signers  of  the  Declaration,  Chancellor  Sundford 
Jndge  Reeve,  De  Witt  .Clinton.  Dr.  Mitchell  was  borr 
here,  famous  for  his  immense  learning,  and  his  equal  ec 
centricities ;  Dr.  Valentin*  Mott;  Dr.  John  Jones,  tl.i 
physician  of  Franklin,  and  the  surgeon  of  Wasliington. 
So  were  Commodore  Truxton,  Col.  T almadge,  Gen.  Wood- 
hull,  and  many  others,  distinguished  in  the  military  or 
naval  service  of  the  country.  Mount,  the  unequalled  de- 
lineator of  the  comic  in  American  life,  is  a  native  Long 
Islander  ;  and  Bryant,  the  chief  in  age  and  plnce  a 
our  living  American  poets,  has  made  for  lumself 
lightful  home  on  the  Northern  Shore. 

It  is  altogether  time  that  the  city  of  Brooklyn  knew 


if  the  Island  upon  whose  western  extremity  it  is 
planted,  and  that  the  bonds  of  alliance  and  intercourse 

ital  and  numerous  than  they  Hitherto  have  beeu.

grand  patriotic  enteqirise,  to  which  all  have  contributed,

MT  EXPERIENCE  OF  THE  FAIR. 

The  plot  thickened  as  the  days  went  on.  Mrs.  Watts 
irself  became  a  uivmlier  «(  i\v<  Committee  on  Eternal 
Arrangements,  and  made  a  practice  of  leaving  the  house 
Uately  after  breakfast,  to  return  only  at  supper- 


>aby,  and  I  soon  began  to  see  with  pain  its  effect  upon 
ny  wife.     In  addition  to  cares  and  labors  incessant,  the 
onunittee  seemed  to  borrow  trouble  from  discord.    The 
adiesweve  evidently  not  a  unit.    They  differed  from 
;ach  other  on   many  and   iniportanl   ;  units.     I  am  afraid 
hey  sometimes  let  their  angry  passions  rise.    One  day 
lira.  W.  came  home  in  some    agitation,   with  flushed 
:heeks,  and  a  red  halo  around  each  sparkling  eye.     I  was 
putting  the  finishing  touch  to  the  last  of  my  Star-Span- 
Banner  letters,  and  from  wise  motives  I  took  no  no- 
f  her  mood.     She  resented  my  calmness  by  slnm- 
tlie  doors  and  molding  the    servant-,  and  finally,  to 
ie  climax  of  her  unreason,  -he  was   about  to  apply 
corporal  punishment  to  our  innocent  baby  as  a  remedy 
lor  stomach  ache.     It  was  time  for  me  to  interfere. 

To  open  the  subject,  I  saitC  mildly,  "  My  love,  what  is 
the  matter?"  My  love  suddenly  laid  down  the  baby, 
and  burst  into  tears,  sobbing  out  the  familiar,  but  not  in- 
telligible phrnse : 

Now  the  appearance  of  tears  convinced  me  that  I  had 
read  the  case  aright,  and  I  applied  at  once  the  proper 
remedy.  I  took  the  d«  ar  Hi  tie  tempestuous  woman  on 
my  knee,  and  questioned  her  in  my  most  soothing  con- 
jugal tones:  "Poor  Susan!  have  they  abused  you  and 
you,  and  are  you  indignant,  and  can't  you  bear

nodded  assent.  She  was  not  surprised  that  I  knew  all 
about  it.     I  know  all  about  most  things— in  which  I  am

THE  EX-SLAVE-WOMAN'S  Gll'T! 
At  the  Great  Northwestern  Fair  lor  the  U.  S.  Sanitary 
at  Chicago  last  October,  it  so  happened 
just  after  the  reception  of  a  splendid  donatlSb  from 

.  Stewart,  of  New  York,  consisting  of  rich  laceB  and 
nels' hair  shawl— which  latter  realized  to  the  Fair 
)0— a  poor  old  negro  woman  hobbled  forward  with  a 
tiun.    She  had  been  freed  from  slavery  by  our  ar- 

,  and  had  gjin.'d  i,  -cdhv  livelihood  by  j/i-kiim  ra^s 
e  streets  ol   ChieiiL-o.     By  riyid  economy — an  econo- 


chased  the  one  great  desnc  oi  her  heart,  namely,  a sheet 
in  which  to  have  lin  sirred  b"Jy  wrapped  after  her  soul 
should  have  tottered  up  to  its  t.b.d.  and  bad  leit  her  corpse 
to  the  mercy  of  the  city  sexton.  Carefully  folded  in  n 
newspaper,  coarse,  but  as  white  and  pure  ae  virgin  snow, 
and  tar  more  precious  in  her  dimmed  eyes  than  would  be 
a  thousand  camels' hair  shawl?  to  the  merchant  prince, 
she  came  timidly  to  the  committee  to  offer  the  only 
article  she  had  on  earth  which  could  possibly  be  of 
use  to  the  soldiers,  faying,  that  she  had  wanted  to  be 
buried  decently,  but  that  tin-  comfort  of  the  living  men 
who  had  won  her  own  and  her  children's  freedom  was 
far  dearer  to  God  than  the  appearance  of  an  old  black 
woman's  dead  body  ;  ih;> t  it    was  wrong   in   her  to  have 

doubted  that  God    would  provide  for  her  corpse,  and 

andd  they  accept  so  little  a  thing?  "Yes,  to  be  sure 
they  could !"  Her  timidity  flashed  into  radiant  triumph; 
and,  with  tears  of  gladness  streaming  down  her  tough- 
ened cheeks,  she  hobbled  out,   satisfied    with    the   assur- 


ance that  the  snowv  cotton    should  go  si  might  in  a  Ibid     sting  out.    nn-l  thry  >inv,vil  him  along  -ah-  r.f  nie.      It  was

"  How  did  you  get  to  the  hospital  r"  I  asked,  anxious 
at  he  should  neither  sodden  nor  excite  himself  by 
diving  j,,  imagination  the  horrors  ot  that  hour. 
"Don't  know,  ma'am.  There  came  a  time  when  I

Otters  much  for  a  day  or  two,  and  the  first  thing  that 
■ought  me  round  was  being  put  aboard  the  transport  to 
me  up  here.  I  was  packed  in  with  a  lot  of  poor  fel- 
we,  and  was  beginning  to  wish  I'd  stayed  queer,  so  I 
couldn't  care  where  I  woe,  when  I  heard  Tom's  voice 
ying,  '  Never  mind  boys,  put  me  down  anywheres,  aud

Hunt  stopped  abruptly,  laid  his  arm  across  his  face, 
and  said  no  more  for  several  minutes.  I,  too,  was  silent, 
reproaching  myself  for  the  injustice  I  had  done  him, 
when,  underneath  his  forbidding  i  xniioi,  he  hid  so  much 
of  the  genuine  tenderness  which  f.  w  men  ore  without. 
Now  I  had  found  the  'due  to  these  \vuk<  'id  hours  of  his, 
and  the  love  he  bore  the  lamp  whose  little  flame  had 
lighted  him  to  a  clearer  knowledge  of  himself,  bringing 
from  the  painful  present  the  promise  of  a  nobler  future. 
He  seemed  so  unconscious  of  the  nidation  iie  had  made 

him,  that  I  made  no   comment  on   it  then,  except  to  ask 

lor  the  confirmation  ot  my  thought: 

"And  when  you  lie  here,  looking  at  the  light,  you  are 
thinking  of  that  good  friend,  Tom?" 

"  Yes,  ma'am,  and  trying  to  be  ready." 

As  if  fearing  to  betray  emotion,  he  made  his  mouth 

eyes  turned  to  the  lamp  shining  iibo\ ■,-  them  in  the  "loom 
and  as  he  looked  his  steady  gaze  flickered  suddenly  as 
two  lesser  lights  were  reflected  in  those  softened  eyes  of 
his.  I  knew  what  was  coining,  and  softly  laving  a  clean, 
cool  napkin  on  his  wound,  I  went  awoy,  that  nothing 
should  disturb  the  precious  moment  t]iat  had  come  to

Excuse  me,  my  dear  sir,  but  a  sudden  demand  upon

THE  WOUNDED  FRENCH  SOLDIER. 

A  Christian  man  was  passing  over  the  field  after  the 
battle  of  Chickamauga,  when  he  found  a  poor  fellow  se- 
verely wounded  and  likely  soon  to  die.  He  spoke  to  him. 
but  was  answered  in  a  foreign  tongue.  So  much  feeling 
way  manifested  by  the  soldier,  however,  that  bis  interest 
was  greatly  excited,  and  he  soon   Interpreted  this  feeling 

i  be  concerning  bis  condition  after 

1  by  signs  to  instruct  and  comfort 

as  not   satisfied.     He  kneeled  by

A  DOUBLE  CHARITY.

Let  us  remember  that    the   brave  Dead  have  ch

while  living  ;  anil  while  the  Sanitary  Commi 
divert  any  of  its  moneys  from  the  proper  c 
beneficence,  we  can,  at  the  same  time,  aic 
those  who  have  ao  equal,  if  not  a  superior  e 
sympathy.     Literally  thrice  blessed  would  such  charity

and  prayers,  and  offers  of  help,  the 
man  was  grateful — but  iu  his  extremity,  he  felt  the  neudof 
something  that  should  come  to  him,  with  the  direct  au- 
thority of  God,  on  which  he  could  rely.  Remembering 
the  chapter  and  verse  where  iB  written  that  promise  of 
Jesus,  "Come  to  me  and  I  will  give  you  rest,"  he  found 
it,  and  although  unable  to  read  the  words,  pointed  them 
out  to  the  dying  man.  As  soon  as  he  read  them,  he 
burst  into  tears,  kissed  the  passage,  and  -seemed  content. 
A  little  after,  he  was  (bund  dead,  with  bis  linger  pressed 
on  these  words  of  God,  which  he  felt  to  he  enough. 

What  matters  it  whence  cam-'  a  soldier,  who -dies  thus 
for  a  Nation  and  Liberty  !  It  is  an  inestimable  privilege 
to  take  care  of  him  while  he  lives,  to  give  him  light  and 
when  he  dies!  Rev. 


As  wo  announced  yesterday,  the  prices  i 
have  been  raised,  so  that  a  dollar  is  required  to  admit 
the  visitor  to  every  branch  of  the  Fair— a  general 
ticket,  costing  seventy-five  cents,  admitting  to  the  Acade- 
my of  Music,  the  Fine  Ait  Gallery,  tho  Refreshment 
Room,  and  tho  New  England  Kitchen,  and  an  extra  fee 
of  twenty-five  cuts  being  demanded  at  the  Museum  of 
Relics  and  Curiosities.  Tins  increased  price-— rendered 
necessary  by  tho  immense  crowds  which,  on  Tuesday 
night,  so  filled  the  buildings  that  it  was  deemed  advisa- 
bio  to  close  the  doors  against  all  new  comers— seems  to 
have  had  no  effect  in  restraining  tin-  public  from  its  en- 
deavors to  see  the  innumerable  curiosities  on  exhibition. 
From  the  time  the  doors  were  opened  yesterday  till  tho 
lato  closing  last  night,  the  Academy  of  Music  and  tho 
other  Fair  buildings  were  crowded.  Sevorol  thou- 
sand of  the  visitors  were  holders  of  season-tickets,  but 
the  groat  majority  were  smii-ly  transient  callers. 

Theso  latter  will  probably  return,  li>r  it     is  quite  im- 

The  strain  on  the  attention,  aud  the  mere  physical  fa- 

aud  body.     But  to  thoso  who  cannot  spare  moro 
oue  day,  we  would  suggest  the  following  itinerary  : 
■   by  the  main  entrance  of  the  Academy  of  Music, 
jo  up  stairs  at  once,  while    fresh,    to  the   Fiuo    Art 
Gallery  where  an  hour  can  be  very    profitably  and  plea- 
santly  spent  in  examining  the   admirable  collection  of 
pictures  loaned  by  various  artists.     Then   examine   that 
>rtion  of  the  Pair  exhibition   in  the  lobbies— where  are, 
uon"  other    things,  a  [series  of  elaborately    furnished 
lIiv  houses,  whieli  would  almost  make    one    want   to  be 
child  again— and  descending  to  the  vestibule  enter  the 
Knickerbocker  Hall  to  inspect  the  great  cakes  and  to  par- 
take refreshment.  Fortified  by  arest,youarethoningood 
condition  to  visit  the  auditorium  of    tho  Academy  of 

spection.  Thence  by  the  stage-door  to  the  bridge  lead- 
ing across  Montague  >treet.  to:  be  Hall  of  Manufacturers 
and  the  New  England  Kitchen,  in  which  latter  place 
it  will  be  about  time  to  get  one  of  the  good  old  meals 
for  which  this  establishment  is  already  famous.  After 
this,  go  into  the  street  again  to  the  Curiosity  Museum,  in 
the  Taylor  Buildings  on  the  northeast  corner  of  Clinton 
and  Montague  streets.  Here  half  a  dozen  different 
apartments,  rich  in  artistic  and  antique  euriositieB,  await 
inspection,  and  will  easily  emphe,  -in  hour  or  two. 

This  itieuary  is  suggested  only  hc/hose  who  can  visit, 
the  Fair  hut  once.  To  others,  we  would  adviso  devoting 
one  day  to  the  Fair  proper,  and  another  one  to  tho  Fine 
Art  Gallery  and  the  Museum.  As  to  the  New  England 
Kitchen,  everybody  will  want  to  see  that  at  every  visit. 

Among  the  various  objects   which  attracted  yeHteruay 
a  large  share  of  public  attention  must  1

A  series  of  illustrations  from    Dickens  were  also  very 
beautifully  given,  though  lacking  in   the  animation  o! 
color  and  light,  so  necessary  to  the  effect  of  tableaux 
The  series  all  taken  from   Dombey  and  Son,  included 
"Florence  repulsed  by  her  Father;"    "Death  of  LittU 
Paul,"  a  most  touching  picture  ;  "  Dombey's  introduction 
to    Edith;"     "The    Evening    before    the    Wedding. 

Edith's  Appeal  to  Dombey."  a  most  striking  and  enec- 
tive  attitude,  which  hud  to  be  repea

lowers  had  put  their  heads  together  and

the  Drum  Beat  would  feel  strongly  inclined  to  men- 
tion them  all  by  name,  and  express  its  gratitude  and  ad- 
miration by  a  lively  rat-a-plan. 

Wc  cannot  go  on  by  saying  conscientiously  that  the 
tableaux  remind  us  of  the  [Post  Office  ;  but  we  can  say 
that  if  they  do  not,  they  ought  to.  The  Post  Office— we 
mean  that  in  the  Academy  of  Music  for  the  benefit  of 
the  Fair,  not  that  for  the  benefit  of  Uncle  Sam— is  doing 
an  excellent  work,  and  bringing  in  a  goodly  sum  of 
money  to  the  cause.  Several  recipients  of  letters  have 
confided  to  the  Drum-Beat  the  tenor  of  the  missives 
received.  They  are  of  a  poetical  nature,  and  though 
not  Miltonian  in  diction,  inculcate  sound  advice.which  we 
heartily  endorse,  such  as:

There  has  also  been  received  a  wail  from  Jefferson  Da- 
vis, addressed  to  several  gentlemen  in  this  city,  who  are 
thus  placed  in  correspondence  with  the  arch  rebel ;  and 
all  the  letters  are  illustrated  with  etchings  which  show 
that  a  skilful   hand  and  a   witty  brain    have  been  at 

There  has  been  some  slight  complaint  that  one  or  two 
letters  passing  through  our  Post  Office  were  of  an  insult- 
ing and  personal  nature.  Care  has  been  taken  to  prevent 
the  recurrence  of  such  an  incident. 

The  receipts  were  very  gratifying  yesterday,  no  less 
than  eleven  thousand  dollars  having  been  taken  in  from 
the  sales  between  three  o'clock  P.  M.  of  Tuesday  and 
three  P.  M.  of  Wednesday. 

The  Brooklyn  City  Railroad  Company  gave  to  the  Fair 

s  total  receipts  on  Monday,  the  22d,  amounting  to 
$1,923.U8.     This  is  several   hundred  dollars  more   than 

10  average  daily  receipts,  but  would  have  been  still 
greater  had  not  the  trawl  hem  interrupted  in  four  places

THE  DRUM-BEAT. 

The  old  Woman  who  had  bo  many  children  that  she 
didn't  know  what  to  do  with  them,  was  in  nothing  like 
the  prctUcaiiiuut  in  which  the  Committee  having  in 
charge  the  business  tnanag.-iueni:  of  this  paper  find 
themselves. 

They  can  publish  but  Six  Thousand  copies  of  each 
paper,  and  it  was  feared  at  the  outset  that  these  would 
be  too  many.  An  Edition  of  Ten  Thousand  would  be 
instantly  disposed  of  already,  if  it  could  be  printed. 

They  had  made  what  they  supposed  to  he  ample  ar- 
rangements for  the  prompt  delivery  of  the  Paper  to  sub- 
scribers  throughout  the  city  ;  but  the  sudden  sickness  of 
one  efficient  carrier,  and  the  failure  of  another  to  be  able 
to  meet  all  the  demands  of  his  long  route,  have  occasion- 
ed an  unexpected  disappointment. 

They  are  doing  their  utmost  to  overcome  these  difficul- 
ties, and   to  have   every  subscriber   promptly  furnished 
with  the  paper  ;  and  they  beg  their   friends   to   keep 
good  natured  as  men  possibly  can  who  do  not  get  such 
au  attractive  little  sheet,  with 

Stibscribers  who  do  not  receive  their  papers,  by  calling 
at  the  Union  office,  10  Front  St.,  can  get  them,  or  h 
the  money  returned  ;  and  those  whom  the  carriers  ran 
supply,  will  be  supplied  if  possible  hereafter  through 
city  Post  Office. 

The  Editor  bogs  to  him-    it  understood,  once    for 
that  he  has  nothing  more  to  do  with  the  business  affair; 
of  the  paper  than  with  the  running  of  trains 
nibal  and  St.  Jo.  Railroad  ;"  that  he  is  just 
cally  a  Successor  of  the  Apostles,  in  that  part

"  HOW  MUCH  OWEST  THOU  V 

All  that  we  have  of  liberty  and  prosperity  comes  and  is 
secured  to  us  by  means  of  the  Government  which  our 
fathers  established  :  which  eminent,  wise  and  patriotic 
men  have,  since  their  day.  fortius  most  part  administered  , 
whose  benefits  we  have  felt,  but  never  its  burdens  i 
which  is  consecrated  to  us  hy 
than  by  all  the  memory  of  i 
brothers  have  poured  out  their  blood,  in  the  last  three 
years,  on  fifty  battle-fields,  to  support  and  defend.  The 
tranquility  and  public  order  which  have  been  hitherto 
assured  to  our  States  by  this  National  Government,— the 
opportunities  of  success  which  have  everywhere  been 
opened  and  guaranteed  by  it  to  ihe  enterprising  and  Indus" 

all  the  seas,— the  extent  to  which,  under  its  protection, 
the  land  has  been  subdued,  its  mines  opened,  its  rivers 
bridged,  its  wastes  redeemed,  its  soils  made  to  bloom  with 
"harvests, — the  rewards  of  labor  it  has  assured  to  the 
humblest,  the  hand  of  restraint  it  has  steadily  laid  on  the 
riot  of  the  rabble,  and  on  the  craft  and  passion  of  the  reck- 
less and  the  wickod  ;— all  these  have  been,  and  are  to-day; 
the  conditions  of  the  prosperity  which  fills  tho  homes  of 
American  citizens,  and  mokes  their  hearts  to  glow  with 
happiness. 


The   -latelie^t   oak,   sinking   its   roots  into  the   earth, 

and  stretching  its  gnarled  and  twisted  limbs  to  wrestle

seasons,  than  d.a'silu'jToudest  fortune  amassed  within 

•  country  imply  the  permanence  and  protection  of  the 

vernment,  as  its  basis  and  defence.     The  most  modest 

flower  that  lifts  its  head  by  the  wayside  or   in  gardens, 

more  Burely  need  the  snn  to  touch  it  with  beauty, 

and  need  the  dew  to  (ill  it-:  eup-^  and  veins  with  life, than

sustaining  and  quickening  influence  of  the  all-pervading 

power  of  Government,  to  make  it  sure  and  make  it  com- 


as  their  ba>is,  are  i-urmuiiued  by  tin-  with  their  necessary 
safeguards.  Libraries,  alleges,  hospitals,  churches,  all 
financial  institutions,  all  iii-titntinn-;  of  art,  newspapers, 
charitable   establishments,  the  peaceful    and 

j  them  rich   and  happy — all  are  now  ohie 
cause  we  have  a  Government  to   guard  them  ;  and 

Lisbon  went,  rushing  intr.  the   abvv-    which

try,  Conned  'nan  many  liarmmii/ed  .States,  which  v 
our  lathers  have  known  and  loved. 

When  we  take  then  the  inventory  of  what  we  0

results  the  present  vast  civil  war, — whin  v.v  reek'

It  is  for  these,  and  for  the  great  hopes  of  that  Future

led, and  campaigns  now  are  being  planned,  and  that  multi-

FAIR— HI. 

symptoms  of  a 
morbid  sanitary  condition  appeared  in  my  family.  Tho 
next  development  was,  as  Shakspeare  would  say,  "im- 
pertinent unto  myself."  A  lady  whom  I  did  not  know 
called  to  see  me.  With  great  fluency  sue  opened  the 
conversation,  but  stumbled  at  my  name,  as  follows: 

"As  your  literary  taste  and  talent  are  so  well  known  in 
our  community,  Mr." 

"  Watts  's  my  name,"  said  I,  suspiciously.  She  did  not 
distinctly  hear,  and  continued: 

"  I  beg  your  pardon,  sir,  Wh«t  s  your  namo?" 

"  Yes,  madam,"  I  said  with  emphasis.  She  looked 
-puzzled,  and  lost  her  volubility.  However,  one  thing  she 
made  plain  enough,  and  I  own  it  pleased  me — that  tho 
ladies  of  the  Post  Office  Committee,  having  the  highest 
opinion  of  my  talents,  "  especially  as  a  poet,"  relied  upon 
my  gallantry  and  patriotism  to  furnish  them  one  hun- 
dred original,  sparkling,  delicate,  perfect  little  trifles, 
which  could  be  addressed  at  random  to  any  comer,  and 
would  be  sure  to  please.  These  scintillations  I  might 
throw  off  at  my  leisure,  whenever  I  felt  like  it— with 
one  proviso,  that  the  hundred  must  be  ready  in  three 
days.  Many  sources  of  supply  had  failed,  and  the  Com- 
mittee now  trusted  mainly  to  me,  to  redeem  the  honor  of 
the  Fair,  &c.  I  was  touched  by  their  child-like  faith 
and  promised  all.  The  Fair  Unknown  briskly  departed, 
and  looking  through  the  blinds,  I  saw  her  go  up  the 
steps  of  Jones's  house,  spell  <

a  new  sensation  for  hiin,  in  1  *« -  UM  of  his  talents,  "espe- 
cially as  a  poet ;"  and,  not  having  the  courage  to  deny 
at  first  the  soft  impeachment,  he  set  himself  at  work 
to  make  it  good.  For  three  days  he  remained  secluded. 
I  only  saw  hiro,  in  the  evening,  sit  by  the  window  with 
his  fingers  twined  in  his  hair,  and  gave  upon  the  moon. 
Poor  fellow  I  his  was  a  sad  ense.  On  the  evening  of  the 
third  day  he  was  attacked  with  brain  fever,  and  in  a  fit  of 
delirium  he  threw  ninety*  -iglil  unfinished  manuscripts 
into  the  fire. 

I  was  not  bo  foolish.     If  there   be  a  quality  which  I

There     in    some     reason     to     fear    that    while    the

all    possess    such  distinctively   attractive    features  that 
there   is    danger  visitors    may    overlook    the    Hall    ot

our  retail  stores.     Indeed,  in  one  or  two  cases  wo  have 
heard  of  visitors  to  this  department  of  the  Fair  making 
purchases  ol  which  they  have  boasted  as  "  excellent  bar-

k  certainly  most  creditable  to  the  liberal  benevolence  cf 
those  mechanics  and  merchants  who  have  "  given  after 
their  power  ;"  but  at  the  same  time  the  number  of  con- 
tributors does  not  correspond  to  the  number  of  the  con 
ibutions  ;-by  which  we  mean  to  say,  that  while  some 
our  ma.nilaenii.i-.  ami    mechanics  have  individually 
sent  large  assortment'  ol  articles,  there  are  a  great  many 
more  who  have  sent  nothing  at  all !     But  there  is  s  rem- 
edy for  this.     There  is    yet  time.    Goods  will  be  re- 
ceived still,  ou  the  principle  of  "  better  late  than  never,

unusual  hour  selected  for  dinner.  "  Jemima,"  n  sprightly 
correspondent  of  the  Drum-Beat,  declares  in  a  protest 
forwarded  to  us  that  on  hearing  the  announcement 
"  dinner  at  five  o'clock  in  the  New  England  Kitchen," 
she  opened  her  eyes  to  the  1  idlest  extent  with  astonish- 
ment. "Shades  of  the  Pilgrims"  writes  "Jemima," 
"  Dinner  in  a  New  England  Kitchen  at  this  unusual, 
unheard-of  hour  !  What  shall  we  hear  of  next  ?  Break- 
fast at  10  A.  M.,  supper  at  9  P.  M„  perhaps ;  why,  what 
would  New  Eughuidcrs  of  own  half  a  century  ago  have 
snidtosuch  innovations 't  Nothing,  most  likoly.  They 
would  have  lifted  their  hands  in  specchh 
uud  horror  at  the  degeneracy  of  the  age: 
"  Jemima"  goes  on  to  protest  as  a  New  Englandei 
against  the  five  o'clock  dinner  hour.  We  commend  her 
remarks  to  the  New  England  ladies,  but  at  the  same 
time  advise  them  to  do  just  as  seems  best.  They  work 
hard  enough  to  have  their  own  way. 

Indeed,  if  they  had  their  own  way  in  everything  it  is 
to  he  feared  that  their  neighbors  in  the  Hall  of  Manufac- 
turers would  suffer  ;  for  a.-  the  tables  in  the  Kitchen  are 
quite  iimiilicAent  to  accommodate  all  the  diners  and  din- 
ners, several  of  the!rioreaggre--ive  |adics  have  hinted  as  to 
the  propriety  of  appropriating,  on  the  Napoleonic  Inter- 
vention principle,  a  portion  of  the    adjoining

unless  provided  with  dinner  tickets,  which  noi 
seventy-five  cents  each,  instead  of  half  a  dollar  as  h 
to.  This  necessary  limitation,  however,  prevents 
visitors  from  chicly  l  x :r n ■  i n in -_r  ill'"1  mrious  relics  ex 
for  exhibition  on  the  dresser  near  the  fire-place.  There 
is,  for  instance,  an  old  teapot,  out  of  which  Gen.  Wash- 
ington and  Gen.  Greene — imitated  iu  this  respect  somi 
yearslater  by  the  illusmoiis  Sa'nvy  Gamp  and  Betsey 
Prig— used  to  take  tea  together.  There  is 
little  earthenware  teapot,  not  much  bigger 
cup,  once  the  property  of  a  venerable  old  I; 
chusetts,  at  the  time  when  the  Colonial 
to  revolt,  prohibited  tin  use  of  tea  in  the  provinces.  The 
poor  old  lady  found  this  deprivation  too  much  for  her  loy- 
alty, and  was  accustomed  to  clandestinely  visit  her  cellar.

and  there  to  prepare  a  cup  of  the  favorite  beverage 
At  night  she  hid  her  teapot  undei 
her  harmless  evasion  of  the  law  was  never  discovered. 
There  is  also  here  a  very  old  Communion  set,  sent  over 
to  a  Massachusetts  church  in  ante-revolutionary  times. 
There  is  a  quantity  of  minor  articles— plates,  cups,  bowls, 
basins,  spoons,  knives,  and  forks — all  dating  from  the 
colonial  period,  and  even  yet  showing  no  signs  of 
decay.  These  article-  have  I.e.  n  loaned  for  the  occasion 
from  all  parts  of  the  East,  several  gentlemen  interested 
in  the  Fair  having  taken  extensive  tours  through  the 
New  England  States,  expressly  io  eolh.et  such  specimens- 
In  the  New  England  Kitchen  has  also  been  placed  a 
very  remarkable  copy,  by  Mr.  Paine,  of  the  President's 
Emancipation  Proclamation  of  January  1st,  1803.  It  is 
done  entirely  with  a  steel  pen,  and  includes  the  text  of 
the  Proclamation,  exquisitely  written,  a  good  portrait  of 
Mr.  Lincoln,  and  a  fancy  border,  at  the  foot  of

An  elderly  English  lady,  residing  at  South  Reading,

private    e-nceit  was-    given  last   night,  in  aid  of  the 

tary  Fund,  in   the   spacious  parlors  of  Mr.  Jeremiah 

Mundell,  of  this  city,  by  .Misses  Conner  and  Smith,  two  of 

our  most  successful  church  singers,  who  were  ably  assist- 

their  endeavors  by   Mrs.  Abbot,  Mrs.  Rogers,  Mi', 

Badger,    Mr.   Abbot,    Miss   Rogers   and    Miss    Ghoux. 

Steins,    basso,  was  named  in  the   programme,  but 

lg  to  illness  did  not  appear.     His  non-appearance  was 

the  cause  of  sincere  regret  and   disappointment,  but  the 

aps  in  the  programme  thus  occasioned  were  very  accept- 

bl  y  tilled  by  extra  exertion*  on  the  part  of  the  perforin  - 


The  programme  was  varied  and  good.  A  quartette. 
La  Carita"  (Charity),  was  well  sung,  and  elicited  merited 
pplause.  Misses  Conner  and  Smith  sang  a  duett  enti 
led  "  Two  Forest  Nymphs,"  very  satisfactorily.  The 
oncert  was  an  unqualified  success,  and  will  add  upwards 
f  one  hundred  dollars  to  the  funds  of  the  noble  commis- 
ion.  We  trust  other  concerts  of  a  like  character  for  the 
ame  purpose  will  follow,  affording  amusement  to  our 
friends  at  home,  and  reliei  to  our  soldiers  abroad. 

Indeed,  there   is  no  reason  why  this  system  of  concert- 
giving  should  not  be  made  a  very  important  aid  to  the 
Not   only   private  houses,   but    churches,   also, 
should  be  opened  for  this  purpose.     A  great  impetus  has 
lately  been  given  to  organ-music— and  it  occurs  to  us  that 
few  Brooklyn  churches  contain  organs,  the  peculi- 
arities and  excellencies  of  which  are  but  slightly  known 
en  to  the  respective  congregations.     If  we  do  not  wish 
apply  to  New  York,  there  are  plenty  of  good  organists 
in  Brooklyn  who  could  get  up  a  series  of  organ-concerts 
which  would  draw  largely.     The  idea  will  he  put  in  ese- 
»n   in  New  York  during  the  coming  Sanitary  Fair 
■.  Messrs.  En-tow,  Morgan,  and  other  eminent,  organ- 
having  charge  of  the  arrangements ;  and  were°tho 
leading  Brooklyn  organists,  such  as  Warren,  Pond,  and 
Abbott,  to  make  a  similar  experiment,  the  concerts,  aided 
by  vocalists  of  merit,  would   redound    creditably  to  the 
musicians  engaged   in   the  enterprise,  would  make  our 
musical  public  acquainted  with  the  best  qualities  of  our 
finest  church-organs,  would  result  iu  a  series  of  agreeable 
and  novel  entertainiieni-.  and  would,  in  all  probability, 
be  a  valuable  ausiliaiy  t->  the  Groat  Fair.     For  this  spe- 
cial, benevolent  purpose  clergymen,  and  church  trustees 
would  not  hesitate  to  give  the  free  use  of  their  churches. 
At  4  o'clock  yesterday   afternoon,  Mr.  Pillsbury,  the 
auctioneer,  mounted  a  cart  and  announced  that  he  was 
ready  to  sell  the  handsome  steers,  which  have  heretofore

Should  a  broker  meet  a  broker 

Coming  fram  the  Fair, 
Need  a  broker  tell  a  broker 

What  is  doing  there  ? 
Ev'ry  lassie  sure  will  greet  him— 

Or,  at  least,  will  I— 
If  he  doubt  what  Bmiles  await  him 

Let  him  come  and  try! 
Should  a  broker  ask  a  broker, 

What's  yoar  "  fancy"  now  ? 
He  shall  say,  Fair  Stock  is  selling ; 

I  have  made  a  tow 
That  the  shares  shall  all  be  taken. 

What  if  they  go  high  ? 
Lucky  is  the  one  who  holds  them ; 

A  happy  man  am  I. 
If  a  broker  join  a  broker, 
They  shall  hear  what  honied  word3 


Let  them  only  buy  ! 
Bears  and  Bulls  will  then  seem  charming. 
Will  they  please  to  try? 


FAIRS :  THEIR  USE,  MISUSE,  DISUSE,  AND  NEW 

A  good  many  things  in  this  world  show  a  tende  ncy  to 
run  down,  beside  water  and  watches ;  and  the  name 
which  originally  stood  for  one  thing,  may  come  with 
years  to  signify  something  as  different  from  the  former 
«s  a  gridiron  from  a  steamboat,  or  a  cabbage-iose  from  a 
cashmere  shawl.  The  '  Finis '  which  have  heretofore 
been  familiar  in  this  country,  are  about  as  good  an  illus- 
tration of  the  remark  as  can  easily  be  found. 

A  Fair,  in  its  original  meaning,  was  simply  a  large 
public  concourse,  ol  people  who  cairn' and  stayed  togi 


and  a  place  that  had  been  previously  assigned,  and  con- 
tinued for  several  days  or  weeks,  according  to  the  num- 
ber of  persons  assembled,  and  tbo  number  and  value  of 
the  goods  to  be  disposed  of.  In  this  sense  Fairs  are  as 
ancient  as  commerce.  They  were  held  in  the  Grecian 
States,  and  the  provinces  of  Rome.  They  were  held 
very  early  in  Mexico,  and  in  Peru.     The  barbarous  tribe. 


springing  up  in  it.  And  the  civilized  State  found  them 
equally  a  means  of  increasing  the  acquaintance  of  its 
people  with  each  other,  of  distributing  the  products  or 
inventions  of  one  city  to  others  at  a  distance,  and  of  thus 
completing  and  enriching  the  powerof  all  the  parts  of  the 
body  politic. 

I--.;-,,    I!,,-  tMiil.^bmeuf   ot    -mii     .-Mid   fixed    eenhv.-s   ol 

industry  and  trade,  and  the  improvement  of  facilities  for 
lot  do  away  with  the  existence 
•  diminish  the  interest  connected  with 
persede  their  public  importance.    The 


iost  civilized  nations  of  Europe  bsr  e  retained  them,  to  a 
;ry  receut  day  ;  do  even  still,  in  some  form  or  other, 
reserve  and  maintain  them.  St.  Bartholomew's  Fair,  at 
mithfield,  in  Loudon,  which  timl  exited  for  almost  nine 
mturies,  was  only  closed  in  1833.  It  was  marked  origi- 
ally  by  a  vast  assemblage  of  merchants  and  purchasers, 
;  which  silks,  embroideries,  ornaments,  armor,  plate, 
,  from  abroad,  manuscripts,  wines,  even 
lands,  and  proprietary  rights,  were  publicly 


primitive 


At  the  Ij.swich  Fair,  in  Suffolk,  England,  a  hundred 
thousand  sheep  are  said  to  be  still  annually  sold  ;  nud 
great  Horse-Fairs  are  held,  at  certain  seasons,  in  York- 
shire and  Lincolnshire,  to  which  the  dealers  in  horses, 
and  the  fanciers  of  the  quadruped,  resort  to  this  day  from 
all  parts  of  Europe,  and  even  frras  America. 

A  Fair  is  still  held  in  Normandy,  which  was  founded 
by  the  father  of  William  the  Conqueror,  and  at  which 
the  present  annual  sales  range  from  three  to  four  millions 
of  dollars.  In  the  south  of  France  is  another,  which  con- 
tinues annually  through  the  four  weeks  of  July,  which  is 
visited  often  by  a  hundred  thousnnd  merchants,  and  at 
which  all  kinds  ol  merchandise  are  offered.  So  Italy, 
Spain,  Holland,  Germany  have  each  their  great  occasions 
of  the  same  kind  ;  while  [{ustiti  -urpas-Jcs  them  all, in  the 
splendor  of  those  at  Novgorod  and  Kiakhta.  At  the 
annual  Easter  Fair  at  Leipsic  the  sales  of  books  are  said 
to  exceed  $0,000,000,  aud  the  total  sales  $50,000,000. 
The  value  of  goods  brought  into  Russia  in  1854,  from 
India,  China,  aud  nil  the  West,  for  Mile  at  the  Fairs,  was 
officially  estimated  at  $150,000,000. 

This  was  the  primary  use  of  Fairs  ;  a  real  and  valuable 
use  in  its  day,  and  to  this  day  in  some  countries,  though 
in  a  land  laced  over  as  ours  is  with  post  roads  and  rail- 
roads, and  penetrated  everywhere  1  i_v  navigable  rivers— 
abounding,  too,  in  towns  and  cities,  <  ach  one  of  which  is 
the  centre 
tardy,  struggling, 
required. 

The  misuse  of  Fairs,  has  consisted  in  gathering  peo- 
ple together  on  the  smallest  occasion, — the  building 
school-house,  the  painting 


where  nothing  ValuahV  had  hern  collected,  and  noth 
worth  purchasing  was  ofKivii  for  sale  ;  aud  then,  by 
arts  of  feminine  huckstering,  in  wheedling  or  :-,tTe« 
out  of  the  pocket-  of  the  unhnppy  victims,  all  the 
ney  they  happened  to  have  in  them,  with  such  further 
sums  as  they  were  too  weak  or  too  bewildered  to  refuse 

brics  of  wool  and  worsted,  for  dolls  nud  pincushions 
blank  notes  from  the  '  Post  Office,'  and,  last  and  most 
disgusting,  a  chance  at  the  Grab-hag  ! 

Thank  Heaven,  the  Disuse  has  followed  hard  c 
the  Misuse;  and  the  pestered,  puzzled,  plucked,  ac 
impatient  community,  with  its  politeness  disturbed,  i 
moral  Sense  irritated,  and  its  poelo-t,  picked  hare,  h 
come  to  put  Fairs — such  Fairs  as  these — only  lower 
the  scale  of  public  calamities  than  Small-pox  and  Firef 

But  the  right  and  noble  use  of  a  Fair,  in  our  change 
times,  and  our  preeminently  commercial  communities, 
shown  in  the  one  now  progressing  in  this  city — snnila 
thoBe  which  already  have  taken  place  in  Boston,  Cliica, 


Tiperfect  commerce  are  no  longer 


to  that  which  is  hereafter  to  tab

MY  EXPERIENi  !■'  <>F  TIIK  UIIEAT  FAIR.— IV. 

In  regard  to  traveling.  I  resemble  liayard  Taylor.  I 
make-  good  use  of  what  I  have  seen.  Once,  as  I  ei 
the  gate  of  the  ancicut  city  of  Zurich,  I  was  stopped  by 
an  old  woman,— sole  relic  of  a    once   powerful   and  gor- 


"  Haiti     If  you've  got  a   )nis-  port,  stop  and  sh< 
that  I  may   Fee  if  it  i.i   coned and  genuine  ;  but,  if  you 
have'nt  got  a  passport,  go  right  along !" 

I  was  reminded  or  this  eceiic,  at  the  door  of  the  Acad- 
emy, on  the  Twentieth  of  February,  1864.  Not  that  I 
say  the  intelligent  watchman  at  that  door  was  au  old 
woman  ;  but  this  I  do  say,  that  several  follows  who  had 
no  earthly  busim  ^  inside  wnl  boldly  in,  and  Cerberus 
never  so  much  as  showed  hie  teeth  ;  while  I,  engaged  in 
the  most  important  errand  that  ever  occupies  man, — 
namely,  looking  after  a  wife,— was  ignominiously  kept 
out  in  the  cold.  At  length  I  bit  upon  a  bold  and  bril- 
liant stratagem.  I  shouldered  a  heavy  packing-box  that 
lay  near,  and  mndo  a  charge  at  the  door.  I  have  never 
seen  the  vigor  of  Mini  eluuge  surpassed,  except  onco  iu 
Pennsylvania,  when  tbo  hungry  — th  came  down  on  a 
wayside  inn  like  a  thou>tn<l  wolves  on  one  fold.  That 
overwhelming  affair  Cerberus  had  not  witnessed  ;  there 
was  nothing,  therefore,  to  lessen  the  effect  of  my  on- 
Blaugbt.  Now  be  knew  that  all  boxes  were  bound  to 
go  inside,  nndbe  couldn't  admit  the  box  and  exclude  me; 
moreover,  there  was  uo  thuo  to  argue  it.  for  I  came  at 
him,  box  foremost.  A  gleam  of  sense  irradiated  his 
mind  ;  he  stepped  aside,  threw  open  the  door,  and  I  stood 
in  the  presence  of  Chaos! 

There  is  something  sublime  in  confusion.  Cbina-ware, 
which  is  the  tamest  thing  in  the  world,  becomes  wild  and 
terriblo  when  thrown  down  stairs.  And  bo,  though  uo 
earthly  object  is  more  sweetly  gentle  than  a  lovely 
woman,  the  aspect  ■>!'  a  thousand  lovely  women,  working 
zealously  nt  cross-purposes,  is  calculated  to  overwhelm 
the  human  soul.  Add  to  this  a  vast  space,  so  "littered 
up"  as  to  appear  Binall ;  processions  of  large  paeking- 
boxes  ;  the  sound  of  a  hundred  hammers,  and  ten  hun- 
dred gentle  tongues  ;  the  fluttering  and  tangling  of  forty 
or  moie  banners,  uot  yet  properly  hung  ;  the  escape  of 
burning-gas,   which    some    lady   from  the 


airitiHi'.n.  discus'  ion  ami  despair.

Miss  J.  was  speechless  with  an  agony  of  rage.  But  I 
saw  that  Susan  had  gone,  in  her  passion,  beyond  parlia- 
mentary  rules.  She  was  getting  as  bad  as  Lord  Derby, 
and  disgracing  the  name  of  Watts.  So  I  interfered,  re-

A  MORSEL  OF  GOOD. 

Some  people  leitred  unt  the  post  office  at  the  Sanitary 
Fair  would  prove  a  "humbug"  and  an  "imposition;" 
that  it  would  be  made  the  medium  of  malice,  scandal,  ov 
vulgarity.  That  it  might  be  thus  abused  and  perverted 
wo  oil  knew.  It  has  1  e  ,-n,  probably,  in  some  cases.  The 
strictest  supervision  eonld  hardly  hope  to  make  it  impos- 
sible ;  anymore  than  police  regulations  make  thefts  and 
hurehnics 'forgotten  f  ircumstarices.'  But  it  could  be  made 
a  convenient  method  of  bringing  in  .he  dimes,  and  so  the 
ladies  o[  the  committee  determined,  as  far  as  they  could, 
to  innke  it  a  channel  of  innocent  mirth,  of  healthful  plea- 
sure, and  of  true  andnoblo  sentiments. 

To-day  a  lady  remarked— "  I  took  a  letter  yesterday 
from  the  post  office,  and  it  has  done  me  so  much  good 
that  I  am  going  to  re-mail  it,  hoping  itmay  prove  as  use- 
ful to  some  other  person.  I  don't  know  if  its  contents 
were  designed  personally  forme,  but  whether  they  were 
so  or  not,  I  have  laid  them  up  snugly  in  my  heart,  and  I 
thank  the  writer,  whoever  it  may  be,  most  sincerely." 

So  you  see,  dear  Mrs.  Duffin,  a  little  bit  of  good  has 
been  done  through  your  post   office.    May   we  not  hope 


Brigadiers.— In  il.e  days  when  Washington  abound- 
ed in  green  officers,  so  that  the  sidewalks  and  hotels 
were  swarming  with  fresh  uniforms  that  gave  very  little 
promise  of  ever  beuig  soiled  wiih  the  dust  of  the  march, 
or  the  blood  of  the  battle,  the  plethora  of  shoulder-strapB 
was  well  taken  off  by  a  wag,  who  said:  "One  day,  a 
boy  threw  a  stone,  at  a  venture,  tiora  Willard's  front  door 
and  hit  three  Brigadier  ,  and  complained  that  it  was  a 
bad  day  for  Brigadiers." 

—  When  black  soldiers,  unhappily,  were  less  favored 
than  now.it  was  common  to  nickname  Gen.  Hunter,  on 
account  of  his  early  and  eouvageous  support  of  the  policy 
of  employing  colored  troops,  and  in  parody  of  bis  title  of 
Brigadier,  "  Nigger-dear"  Hunter.  It  will  be  remember- 
ed to  his  honor,  long  after  the  sneer  is  forgotten. 

Loyal  Women.— When  our  prisoners,  after  Lee's  re- 
treat from  Gettysburg,  were  Peine  buried  to  Hicbmond, 
between  files  of  rebel  soldiers,— as  they  passed,  hungry 
and  faint,  through  Marlinsburg,  loyal  women  came  out 
and  endeavored  to  pass  fond  to  the  h  derals  through  the 
rebel  ranks.  They  were  rudely  lepulsed  by  the  guard  ; 
but.  determined  not  to  be  baffled  by  the  cruelty  of  the 
rebels,  they  armed  themselves  with  loaves  and  pies,  and 
with  these  amiable  weapons,  shelled  the  prisoners,  over 
the  heads  of  the  guard,  and  in  spite  of  their  most  vigilant 
efforts  to  prevent  it.

I    Let's  try  the  hist  batch  seriatim,  and  see  if  the

Because  the  gentlemen  having  it  in  charge  undertook, 
their  kindness,  what  human  wills,  and  the  best  train-

ribed  for  ;  and  what  isn't  applied  for  will  go  to  the  Fair 
Treasury. 

2.  Why  is  the  paper  published  at  The  Union  office? 
Because  a  gentleman  having  a  large  interest  there,

They  are  worked  on  silk  canvas?,  I  believe  it's  called,

to  name  the  happy  day  when  I  might  be  borne  away  "  a

of  the  remarkable  nerve  and  indifference  displayed  by

The  War  Fund  Connniiii'i'  was  originated  in  the  sum-

Accordingly  at  the  sji'-ial  suggestion  and  earnest  request

"  War  Fund  Committee  of  the  City  of  Brooklyn  and

qneiitly,  af  oneol'the  huge>[  public    meetings 

appointment  and  work  of  the  Committee

At  the  next  mceiicg.  Mr.  .h.hn-on,  Chairman  of  tho

On  the  evening  of  Monday.  November  21,  1802,  Rev. 
Dr.  Bellows  delivered  an  elaborate  address  at  tho  Acad- 
emy of  Music,  upon  tho  work  and  needs  of  the  Sanitary 
Commission.  The  audience  was  one  of  the  most  notable, 
a"  regards  number.-,  intelligence,  and  enthusiasm,  ever 
assembled  in  this  city,  and  will  Lug  be  remembered  by 
each  member  of  the  vast  crowd  which  participated.  To 
besuru,  at  no  time  since  the  outbreak  of  tho  Rebellion 
had  the  people  of  Brooklyn  been  backward  in  con- 
tributing to  tho  patriotic  cause ;  but  a  tbuo  had 
now  arrived  when  the  real  oxigoncics  of  tho 
great  war  were  beginning  to  bo  felt ;  when  mere 
enthusiasm  must  give  place  to  resolute,  self-sacrificing 
philanthropy,  and  system  ;  and  when  order  and  system 
must  govern  both  the  pr.'paiuiion  and  tho  distribuiioii  of 
tho  national  gifts.  The  address  of  Dr.  Bellows  struck  a 
responsive  chord  of  public  s-uiinieni  ;  and  at  tho  close  of 
his  speech  a  number  of  ladies,  in  co-operation  with  tho 
pastors  of  their  respective  churches,  were  appointed  to 
take  measures  to  provide  and  make  up  material  for  the 
comfort  of  our  disabled  soldiers,  and  to  act  auxiliary  to 
the  Sanitary  Commission  of  the  War  Fund.  These  ladies 
met  a  lew  days  after,  at  the  lecture-room  of  tho  Church 
of'tho  Pilgrims,  to  confer  with  a  delegation  from  tho 
Woman'B  Central  Association  of  Relief  of  Now  York 
City,  and  to  adopt  such  plan  of  organization  as  should 
best  secure  the  objects  in  view.  In  this  auspicious 
manner — as  is  justly  remarked  in  a  report  subsequently 
published  —  tho  Woman's  Relief  Association  of  the 
City  of  Brooklyn,  an  Association  seeking  to  unite 
in  one  patriotic  stream  the  manifold  sympathies 
of  this  Christian  community  towards  our  suffer- 
ing soldiers,  came  into  being.  At  a  meeting  on 
the  Gth  of  December,  1802,  Articles  of  Association  were 
reported  and  adopted,  the  Sanitary  Commission  at  the 
same  time  announcing  that  the  organization  would  be 
recognized  by  the  U.  S.  Sanitary  Commission  as  the 
Brooklyn  Auxiliary.  By  these  articles  the  society  is  cal- 
led "The  Woman's  Relief  Association  of  Brooklyn,"  its 
officers  arc  specified,  in  dependence  on  the  Sanitary  Corn- 
Advisory  Committee,  fully  admitted, 
and  its  objects  defined,  as  intended  "  to  stimulate,  concen- 
trate, and  direct  the  philanthropic  <  libit  of  the  commu- 
alf  of  the  sick  and  wounded  soldiers  of  our

cerning their  immediate  and  prospective  wants  ;  to  col- 
hospital  stores,  and  medical  comforts  of 
merally  to  advance  the  views  and  objects 
of  the  Sanitary  Committee,  as  appointed  by  the  '  War 
Fund  Committee  of  the  City  of  Brooklyn  and  County  of 
tings,'  to  which  it  shall  ho  distinctly  and  permanently

The  principal  Brooklyn  churches,  regardless  of  denomi- 
represonted  in  the  society,

The  ball  having  now  been  fairly  set  iolling,it  did  not 
stop  till  it  ran  against  the  Fair  itself.  Rev.  Dr.  Farley,

the  public,  worded  as  follows  :

Frederick  A.  Farley,  D.D., 

Corresponding  Secretary. 
The  way  that  Rev.  Dr.  Farley's  appeal  for  the  Sani- 
tary Fair  is  re=pondel  to,  we  see  in  the  Great  Fair  ;  but 
not  in  even  that  alone.  A  real,  actual  house-and-lot  in 
this  city  hoe  been  donated  lo,  the  Fair,  and  will  be  sold 
at  public  auction,  for  its  benefit,  at  an  early  date.  The 
building,  accordirg  to  an  announcement  by  tho  Commit- 
tee on  Fancy  Goods,  is  the  three-story  house  and  lot  No. 


Atlantic  street,  Brooklyn,  situated  on  the  north  side, 
■  Powers  street.  Lot,  25  by  80 ;  the  building,  23  by 
s  built  of  brick,  with  a  store  on  the  first  floor,  all  in 
complete  order,  with  ea-nxtuie-.;.  water,  and  all  tho 
■n  conveniences.  Possession  of  the  Btore  can  bo 
given  immediately,  and  of  the  house  after  1st  of  May. 

The  above  property  (subject  to  an  incumbrance  of 
$2,000,  the  whole  of  which  can  remain  on  bond  and 
mortgage  if  required)  will  he  sold,  at  public  auction,  to 
the  highest  bidder  ;  the  whole  proceeds,  over  and  above 
the  §2,600,  to  be  presented  to  the  Fair  by  the  present 
owners,  Messrs.  Scranton  &  Co.,  who  will  execute  a  deed 
for  the  same.      Due  notice   of  the   day  and  time  of  sale 

ill  be  given  in  the  daily  papera. 

C.  H.  Williamson  has  taken,  and  presented  to  the  Fair, 

handsome  photograph  of  the  building,  which  appears 
be  an  inviting,  homelike  place,  the  store  possessing  a 
large  show-window  frontage,  and' 
shaded  by  trees.  The  upper  wind. 
Venetian  blinds.  This  is  the 
productive  real  estate  being  given 
and  it  speaks  well  for  the  originality  as  well  as  the  libe- 
rality of  the  patriotic  donors. 

A  sight  of  this  admirable  photograph  reminds  us  of  tho 
suggestion  received  in  n  letter  from  a  gentlemen  con- 
fined to  his  house  by  illness,  and  unable  to  visit  the  Fair 
personally.  He  asks  "  whether  it  would  not  pay  a  hand- 
some revenue  to  tho  Treasurer  of  the  Long  Island  Fair  if 
stereoscopic  views  were  taken  of  the  interior  and  exterior 
of  the  Academy,  and  offered  for  sale."  Thousands, 
he  adds,  are  doubtless  similarly  situated  to  himself,  and 
would  gladly  purchase  any  correct  viowa  of  tho  Fair 
which  might  be  offered  for  sale.  Their  friends  could 
easily  buy  them  for  them,  and  they  would  thus  be  aiding 
the  good  cause,  and  enjoying,  to  some  extent,  the  plea- 
sures which  sickness  has  deprived  them  of. 

In  reply  to  this  we  would  state  that  stereoscopic  views 
of  the  New  England  Kitchen  have  already  been  taken, 
and  are  for  sale  in  tho  Kitchen,  at  seventy-five  cents 
,i,:\  .  and  ii.n.h.u.bte:.m  some  of  our  enterprising  photo- 
graphers will  next  week  take  advantage  of  the  scene  in 
the  auditorium  of  the  Academy  of  Music  to  "secure  tho 
shadow  ere  the  substance  perish." 

It  is  to  be  hoped  that  next  week,  too,  will  see  a  larger 
influx  of  our  farming  population,  from  different  portions 
of  the  Island.  To  this  class  of  visitors  we  would  specially 
recommend  the  agricultural  implements  in  the  Manufac- 
turers' Department;;*  where  are  for  sale  a  mowing  ma- 
chine, a  hay  press,  a  seed  sower,  a  corn  sholler,  and  a 
number  of  ploughs  and  minor  articles.  T  hese  will  be  all 
offered  at  the  regular  trade  prices,  and  farmers  who  may 
buy  will  thus  benefit   both  themselves   and   the    good 

Towards  the  evening  of  yesterday,  the  clouds  partially 
broke  away,  the  sun  came  out  cheerfully,  and  the  Fair 
was  as  densely  crowded  as  on  the  previous  pleasant  days. 
But  rain  or  shine,  tho  patriotic  public  should  lememhor 
that  all  next  week,  iu  so  good  a  cause.  Fair  weather  will 
continue.

lor  the  day,  puir-ini/ed  tin-  I>; liil-Uion  largely. 

The  aggregate  receipts,  up  to  Saturday  evening,  were 
$211,400. 

A  change  is  to  be  made  in  the  hour  of  opening,  the 
Executive  Committee  findine;  such  alteration  imperative- 
ly necessary.  Dr.  Farley,  as  Secretary,  announces  that 
on  and  after  to-day  the  Fair  will  open  at  twelve  o'clock 
noon,  instead  of  eleven  o'clock,  as  hitherto. 

The  Fair  will  probably  close  on  Thursday  evening,  to 
give  opportunity  for  the  Auction  Sales  on  Friday,  with 
which  will  terminate  the  great  Festival  of  charity. 


WORK   THAT   IS   WORSHIP. 

ALL  work  is  not  worship  ;  though  a  faithful  Industry, 
wherever  accomplished,  helps  a  man  to  worship  better, 
and,  If  performed  with  genuine  love  to  God  and  man,  is 
in  its  place  as  devout  and  Divine  as  the  special  worship 
which  is  rendered  in  the  temple.  But  still  mechanisms 
are  not  suflicient  ministers.  Thrift  and  frugality  cannot 
occupy  the  place  of  Christian  thought  fulness,  and  a  rev- 
erent piety.  And  any  people  will  be  dull  and  cold  at  the 
centre  of  moral  life  who  do  not  initiate,  by  solemn  and 
public  religious  observance  on  the  first  day  of  the  week, 
the  hardy  and  manly  enterprise  which  they  show  on  the 
days  that  succeed  it.  Napoleon,  with  Iris  consummate 
knowledge  of  human  nature,  only  recognized  this  when 
he  reestablished  the  Sunday  in  France,  and  restored  the 
rights  of  Christian  Worship  which  the  first  frantic  fury 
of  Revolution  had  abolished. 

But  there  are  some  departments  of  labor  where  'Work 
is  Worship  ;'  and  calls  up  all  that  is  loftiest  within  us, 
and  brings  upon  us  the  Divine  benediction,  as  directly  as 
if  it  were  accomplished  iu  the  house  whose  arches  ring 
with   prayer  and  praiso,  on  the  day  when  the  gates  of 

forth.     A  Divine  adoration  is  in  the  Industry.    The  spirit 
of  that  Religion  whose  essence  is  Love   to  God  and 
cousi'crates  the  action,  and  ennoble-  all  its  details. 

When,  after  the  news  of  Pope's  defeats  reehed  Boston 
on  Sunday  morning,    they   suspended    all   service, 
brought  sewing  machines,  buses,  and  bales  of  goods  into 
the  churches— rilling  the  aisles  and  pews  and  pulpits  with 
chairs   and   tables,   with  swiftest  hands,   and    eyes  ' 
whose  easier  brightness  the    heart    was    not    allowe 
send  Its  mist  of  sorrow  of  fear,  working   all    clay    to 
nish  supplies  for  the   crowded   camps   and  hospitals 
demanded  them,— was  not  that  "  worship?"  as  true 
fruitful  as  if  they  bad  loosened  the  great  harmoni

the  mighty  and  stirring  words  of  old? 

When  the  nurse  in  the  Ward   from  early  morning  till

INCIDENT  AT  THE   BOSTON  FAIR. 

Who  can  read  without   a   thrill   this  incident,  related 
by  a  correspondent  of  one  of   the   journals,  writing 
the  Boston  Fair  : 

"  As  I  stood  to-day    looking    at    the  bristling  p 
bayonets  that  rise  on  either  side  of  the  great  organ,  and 
are  surmounted  by  the  blood-stained 
Michuselis  regiments,  I   was  consciou 
mm'  in  the  crowd  that  cansed  me  to  turn  and  look  behind 
me.     A    pale    and   haggard  countenance,    lit  by  eyes

it  hung,  waving  solemnly,  as  if  pronouncing  a  benedictv

dozen  printed  notes,  which  I  reverently  took  up 
and  read : 

No.  Z  was  an  additional  list ;  and 

No.  4  a  supplementary  one. 

In  the  supplementary  list  I  discovered  my  name.  It 
was  with  honest  satisfaction  that  my  eye  rested  uron

had  vowed  to  give  Ten  Dollars  to  the  Pair  for  every  Hun- 
dred dollars  of  profit  which  the  Fair  should  bring  him. 
He  besought  me.  therefore,  to  hold  up  his  hands  in  this 
benevolent  undertaking,  by  purchasing  at  once  some  of 
his  celebrated  soap.  He  said  it  would  be  seen  by  a  Blight 
calculation  that  if  every  man,  woman,  and  child  on  the 
globe  would  buy  ft  cake  of  soap  on  these  conditions,  the 
Brooklyn  Sanitary  Fair  would  make  the  enormous  sum 
of  Two  Million  dollars.  It  wns  evident,  therefore,  that

as  a  tonic,  Here  I  paused,  for  the  rest  of  the  be- 
nevolent document  had  been  evidently  copied  from  a 
merely  secular  circular.  Before  the  opening  chant,  I  had 
just  time  to  glauco  at  No.  G.

Thursday  ;  tickets  Two  Dollars, 
was  requested,  stating  whether  I  would  be  present.  Ifl 
could  not  come,  it  was  hoped  that  I  would  send  back  my 
tickets  (of  which  four  were  enclosed),  together  with  the 
money  for  them,  as  Mrs.  C.  desired  to  sell  all  her  tickets, 
very  much.  I  thought  that  was  selling  'em  very  much, 
indeed  1 

The  Programme  followed.  It  consisted  of  a  select  Dra- 
matic Performance-  by  an  amateur  company  ;  a  Scries  of 
Tableaux  of  sanitary  scenes  (one,  called  "Tho  Amputa- 
tion," was  said  to  be  panicuhirlv  fine)  ;  Music  by  a  brass 
band  of  twenty-four  pieces,  to  be  stationed  in  the  boll  ; 
Mason's  "Silver  Spring,"  executed  by  n  young  lady  of 
eight  upon  a  Steinwuy  livand  ;  Patriotic  Recitations,  by 
three  small  boys  from  the  Polytechnic,  and  Refreshments 
from  the  hospitable  Mrs.  Commeelpheau  herself.  The 
rest  (?)  of  the  evening  would  be  spent  in  brilliant 
conversation.  Mrs.  C.  had  invited  the  celebrated  Mr. 
Smoltork,  and  hoped  for  my  company  also,  as  a  worthy 
mate  lor  him.  The  force  ol  the  final  compliment  was  im- 
paired when  I  found  that  all  tho  pews  in  my  neighbor- 
hood contained  similar  notes,  and  every  note  closed  with 
Mr.  Smoltork  and  his  mate. 

Here  tho  service  began,  and  1  gladly  bnnished  from  my 
mind  all  thoughts  of  an  earthly  nature.  The  ladies  of 
the  congregation,  wearied  by  the  incessant  labors  of  the 
week,  di-]i04(.d  themselves  for  slumber  ;  and  the  venera- 
ble Doctor,  looking  down  from  his  desk,  could  not  find  it

turned  over  his  leaf.     The  solemn  silence  was  broken  by 
his  voice,  mecbiml'iiHy  pursuing  tho  manuscript :  "  Three

now,  and  the  Doctor  awoke  from  his  absence  of  mind  tt 
find  himself  in  a  scrape.  There  was  nothing  to  be  done 
but  to  face  the  fact.

LETTER  FROM  CHARLES   SUMNER. 

Senate  Chamber,  Feb.  22, 1864. 
Dear  Sir:  I  should  be  glad  to  see    and    enjoy  your 
New  England  Kitchen. 

ut  is  the  New    England    Kitchen  any   thing  but  a 
al  descendant  of  the  Old  England  Kitchen  ? 
was  in    such  a  kitchen  that  King  Alfred  sat  while 
housewife  baked  at  the  blazing  fire.     And  when  our 
ancestors  left  England,    such   kitchens  were  blazing  be- 


s  on  o  pile  of  bri.  k-   v-  ith  inunmuahlo  sauce-pans. 

th  no  generous  tire,  and  i pen.  capacious  piml'S. 

The  Gauls  borrowed  it  from  ancient  Rome,  or  perhaps 
Caesar  left  it  with  his  eagles  and  bridges.  Its  progenitor 
be  found  in  the  remains  of  Herculaneum  and 
Pompeii,  with  bronv.e  -oinetimes  instead  of  brick.  But 
th''  Britons  never  adopted  it. 

Climate,  wh'eh  is  -■■  important  an  agent  in  civilization, 
is  the  probable  causeof  the  difference.  Montesquieu  tells 
t  it  affects  national  character ;  but  how  much 
easier  the  national  kitchen.  In  Italy  the  fire  wasneeded 
mly  tor  cooking  ;  but  in  ■  ountries  farther  north  it  was 
needful  for  the  comfort  of  the  family  also. 

But,  whatever  mny  bo  the  origin  of  t lie  New  England 
Kitchen.  I  trust  it  will  continue  to  glow  with  its  accus- 
tomed hospitality,  li nd  thai  your  representation  of  it  will 
instruct  and  gratify  the  good  people  who  throng  to  fill

l  the  Peninsula,  dur 


the  last  two  days  we  have  been  carrying  in  our 
pocket,  back  and  f'.rtli  IVoin  hou-e  m  ?tady  (uuable  to  lay 
it  down)  the  fascinating  "  Autobiography  of  Di.  Lyman 
Bcecher,"  just  published  by  the  Harpers. 

The  opening  chapters  of  the  book  are  equal  to  a  visit 
to  the  New  England  Kitchen,  as  a  recovered  picture 
of  old  times  in  the  Land  of  Steady  Habits.      How  the 

Yankees  will  devour  this  I 1;  from  Maine  to  Minnesota' 

How  it  tastes  of  Indian  pudding,  and  baked  beans,  and 
ri.lor-apple-sauce,  and  of  "  pies  made 
time,  and  froze  for  winter's  use  ;  enoi 
March!"  How  it  will  tak>  Yanl.e.  s  of  three-score  back 
to  the  days  when  they  used  to  help  at  their  fathers' 
sheep-washing  :  "  the  old  ram,"  Dr.  Beecher  tells  us,  "  we 
boys  used  to  drag  in  and  souse  under.  He  would  come 
out  and  stand  dripping."  What  a  picture  it  gives  of  a 
country  school,  where  the  boys  traded  jack-knives,  and 
made  elder  pin-boxes,  and  on  freezing  duys  kept  up  a 
perpetual  cry,  "Master,  please  let  me  go  to  the  fire?" 
Young  Lyman  Beecher  going  off  to  take  charge  of  his 
first  church  (on  Long  Island),  with  all  his  worldly  elfects 
in  one  white  hair-mink,  curried  mi  the  pommel  of  bis 
saddle,  will  be  a  subject  for  tho  pencil  of  Brown  or  East- 
man Johnson. 

The  book  was  written  out  of  the  racy  personal  con- 
versation of  Dr.  Beocher  at  th.'  fire-side  of  Mrs.  Stowe,  at 
Andover;  his  son  Charles  tubing  down  the  reminiscences 
as  they  Ml  from  the  old  man's  lips.  In 
was  made  that  will  he  invuluuV.,.  t,,  the  future  Macaulays 
who  wish  a  perfect  picture  of  Now  Kngland  life  after  the

ITEMS  OF  SANITARY   WORK. 

The  work  done  by  the  Sanitary  C 
porting  the  sick  aud  wounded  f: 

ie  Richmond  campaign,  can  never  be  told. 

The  following  is  an   incident   taken    from 
pages  of  the  little    book    entitled    Hospit.v 


One  stormy  evening  n  dispatch  came  Irom  a  surgeon. beg 
vould  immediately  send  a  boat 
re  "  a  hundred  sick  have  been 
in  the  rain,  without  attendance  or 
r  writes  to  a  friend  : 
'Not  a  moment  is  lost— Mr.  Knapp  would  not  let  me 
even  for  a  Bhawl— and  we  are  off.     The  "  Elizabeth  " 
jur  store-tender  or  supply-boat,  and  her  main  deck  is 
ed  from  deck   to  deck  with  boxes.     The   first  thing 
16  is  to  pick  out  sis  cases  of  pillows,  six  of  quilts,  one 
brandy,  and  one  of  bread  ;  then  all  the  rest  are  lower- 
ed into  the  hold.     Meantime  I  make  for  the  kitchen, 
where  I  find  a  remarkable  old  '  aunty,'  and  a  fire.     I  dive 
her  pots  and  pans  ;  T  wheedle  out  of  her  some  green 
the  black   having  given  out,  and  soon  have  eight 
bueketfuls  of  hot  tea.  and  pyramids  of  bread  and  butter. 
The  cleared  main  deck  is  covered  all  the  way  with  two 
layers  of  quilts,  and  rows  of  pillows  are  laid  so  that  heads 
feet.     No  aisles  are  left. 
Presently  the  sick  come.     They  have  been  on  the  creek- 
irteen  hours,  without  a  phy-ioian  or 
particle  of  food,  or  a  drop  of  drink  j 
and  this  on  a  cold,  foggy  day.  with   rain  and  mist  after 
iti'oll.     The  poor  fellows  are  led  or  carried  on  hoard, 
stowed,  side  by  side,  as  elose  as  close   can  he.     They 
utterly    broken    down,  wet    through,   some  of  them 
raving  with  fever.     All  are  without  food  for  one  day— 
f  them  for  two  days.     We  feed  them  with  spoon- 
brandy  and  water  ;  then  with  hot  tea,  bread,  and 
butter;  and  then  they   sink   into  the   sweet    sleep   of 


BIVOUAC  AT  DAYBREAK. 

All  nightlong  worn  thundering  by  my  tent-door  heavy 
trains  of  artillery,  intermingled  with  the  tramp  of  eaval 
ry.  Sleep  was  out  of  the  question.  Occasionally  I  rose, 
and  peered  out  on  the  grim  visages  of  the  warriors. 
Towards  morning  there  was  a  lull,  and  I  dropped  into  a 
refreshing  sleep.  From  this  I  was  roused  by  a  loud  call 
at  my  tent-door.  The  Lieutenant— my  son,  now  conva- 
lescent from  a  severe  illness— said  :  "  Father,  get  up  and 
see  the  Veterans."  Instantly  I  was  upon  my  feet,  and 
tin. .wing  on  a  l'-w  garments,  f  sullied  forth. 

What  a  scene!  Far  almost  as  the  eye  could  reach, 
covering  all  the  intermediate  grounds,  from  Arlington 
Heights  to  the  river,  twenty  thousand  in  all,  lay  a  rem- 
nant of  the  great  Army  of  the  Potomac.  The  camp-fires 
were  still  glimmering  ;  but  the  men,  exhausted,  lay  like 

Passing t'.)  therein  of  iho  hill,  f  foil  upon  a  grand  di- 
vision, composed  ut  amHrn  and  infantry,  all  in  profound 
slumber  on  the  naked  ground.  I  had  heard  of  soldiers 
sleeping  on  their  arms.  Now  I  saio  it.  Literally,  their 
muskets  were  their  pillows.  How  profound  their  sleep! 
Alas  !  in  a  few  days  many  of  them  slept  the  sleep  that 
"  knows  no  waking." 

One  man  I  observed  was  wide  awake.  He  was  of  noble 
figure— tall,  muscular,  and  with  a  heavy  brown  beard.

Pacing  up  and  down,  with  bands  clasped  behind  turn,  he 
cast  an  occasional  glance  at  tho  east,  as  if  impatient  to 
see  the  sua.  As  I  approached  him  I  saw,  by  tho  etars  on 
his  shoulder?,  that  he  waB  the  General  in  command.  Bo- 
rious  he  looked,  as  well  he  might.  Our  forces  uuder 
Pope  bad  been  driven  bach,  and  the  Capital  was  threat- 
ened. He  was  there  with  his  Veterans  to  defend  it.  It 
was  Sedgwick.  I  ventured  to  put  one  or  two  questions. 
His  answers  convinced  me  that  I  had  better  withdraw. 
But  hark  !  The  bugle-call  and  the  long  roll  of  the

3  Police 


Department;  and  in  making  a  call  on  Saturday 
Police  Headquarters  iu  the  Fair,  we  learned  that  up  to 
Friday  evening  last,  property  to  the  value  or  eight  hun- 
dred and  eighteen  dollars,  and  ninety-one  cents,  had  been 
restored  to  tee  legitimate  owners.  Sergt.  Mathews  and 
Cornell  are  kept  actively  c-u^a^ed  at  the  office,  (which  is 
conveniently  located  near  the  main  entrance,)  in  receiving 
articles  picked  up  from  time  to  time  by  the  officers  on 
duty  at  their  several  posts.  Here  also  are  beard  the  pite- 
ous tales  of  the  unfortunate  losers  ;  and  so  admirably  does 
the  Bystem  work,  that  in  a  large  majority  of  cases  these 
p;ople  find  that  th  li  property  is  waiting  to  be  reclaim- 
ed. We  were  shown  a  large  trunk  full  of  miscellaneous 
articles  in  the  clothing  line,  each  labelled  with  the  time 
ami  place  a'  which  it  wn-  picked  up.     Among  the- e  were 


e  shown  a  large  t 

vhich  it  was  picki 
ladies'  veils  nnd  handkerchiefs  in  abundance,  a  hnndred 
or  more  glovea,  bad  and  indifferent,  but  scarcely  any  two

cy,  all  awaiting  owners.  Th  >  police  are  always  on  the  aler 
for  lost  articles,  as  well  as  busy  keeping  au  eye  to  light 
fingers  ;  and  the  gentry  of  thatpersuasion  find  the  Fair  t 
dangerous  field  to  operate  in.  Two  or  three  were  caught 
on  the  opening  day  ;  but  since  that  no  attempts  have 
been  made  by  the  cunning  professionals  to  place  them 
selves  in  danger  of  arrest. 

The  cabinet  department,  located  in  the  first  gallery 
under  the  charge  of  Mr.  Brooks,  upholsterer,  contains  E 
rich  supply  of  parlor  furnilure  :  chairs,  divans,  stools, 
work-tables,  ..yc,  richly  cushioned,  furnished  with 
gantly  worked  spreads,  mats,  together  with  Affghansof 
the  most  costly  qualities.  Mr.  Brooks  states  that  the 
first  day's  sales  amounted  to  nearly  five  hundred  dollars 
ich  subsequent  day  an  average  of  that  amount, 
Thursday  resulted  in  a  realization  of  eight  hundred  and 
.weiity-onedollurs   in   this    department,  which    embraces

suits  of  genius  and  enterprise  on  the  part  of  the  students 
aud  teachers  of  that  institu!  ions,  constitutes  a  collection 
worthy  of  the  attention  and  ]  a'n  nage  of  visitors. 
In  a  somewhat   obscure  comer,  on   the  first  floor  and 
lar  the   ladies'  dressing  room,  is  the   cut-glass  depart- 
ment of  C.  Dorflinger  &  Co.,  of  Grecnpoiut.     Here  may 

lly  dishes,  wine  and   finger  glasses,  salt  cellars, 
ink-stands,  &c. 

The  sales  in  thiB  department  have  been  of  a  fair  aver- 
age, as  compared  with  those  of  other  departments. 

Mr.  Samuel  McLean  has  been  among  the   most  active 
providing  desirable  goods  for  the  Fair  by  importation. 
Through    his  exertions  the  Custom   House  duties  on  for- 
goods  imported  for  this  object    have  been  remitted 
to   which  end  Mr.  McLean    sent,  at  his  own   expense,  a 
party  to  Washington  to  negotiate  with  the  Government. 
In  the  Relic  and  Curiosity  Room  is  a  valuable  little  col- 
lection of  Ivory  carvings,  well  worth  the  attention  of  the

A  very  interesting  letter  has  been  received  from  Lewis 
H.  Steiner,  Chief  Inspector  at  Washington,  accompany- 
ing a  very  interesting  contribution  ;  and  the  letter  is  so 
iiite]v-ting  that  we  c..py  it  entire: 

Washington,  Feb.  IS.  1804. 
Mrs.  M.  F.  OcIeU  ; 

Madame  :  I  beg  that  you  will  present  the  accompany- 
ing articles,  made  by  the  prisoners  at  Point  Lookout,  to 
the  managers  of  the  Brooklyn  Sanitary  Fair.  They  in- 
clude seventy-five  fans,  one  hundred  and  thirty  inlaid 
and  plain  rings,  with  some  other  articles,  made  with  the 
ordinary  pocket-knife.  They  have  been  collected  by  our 
agent  at  Point  Lookout,  and  have  been  presented  him  in 
exchange  for  tobacco,  so  urgently  and  repeatedly  asked 
for  by  the  prisoners.  It  is  a  curious  fact  that,  notwith- 
standing nil  we  have  heard  of  King  Cotton,  his  subjects 
have  a  more  abiding  and  devoted  affection  lor  that  more 
potent  brother-monarch,  King  Tobacco.  The  prisoner 
finds  no  greater  pleasure  than  in  offering  up  incense  at 
his  Court,  or  in  serving  almost  day  and  night  in  the 
ranks  of  his  followers.  We  have  considered  that  it  was 
a  duty,  from  time  to  time,  to  contribute  to  tho  clamor- 
ous demands  of  this  artificial  appetite,  made  a  portion, 
by  habit,  of  man's  second  nature ;  hence  tobacco  has 
been  issued  to  our  hospitals,  and  occasionally  to  the  men 
in  tho  field,  and  in  limited  quantity  has  been  given  to 
some  of  the  prisoners. 

The  Commission  sendB  these  evidences  of  skill  develop- 
ed within  the  Union  lines,  with  the  hope  that  their  sale 
may  swell  up  "  the  grand  total"  which  may  be  secured 
by  the  Brooklyn  Fair.  Its  agents,  trained  by  long  prac. 
tice  in  the  work  of  succoring  the  needy  of  our  army,  will 
be  only  too  happy  to  have  their  supplies  so  large,  so 
abundant,  that  not  a  want  may  arise  in  the  army  which 
they  shall  be  unprepared  to  meet.  They  feel  nerved  to 
the  work  with  the  thought  that  the  gentler  sex  is  ever 
mindful  of  the  wants  of  their  bravv  brothers  in  the  field, 
and  that  one  spirit  animates  all— th.' anxious,  heartfelt 
wish  that  treason  shall  soon  he  chocked,  and  peace  under 
our  glorious  flag,  once  more  reign  over  our  whole  coun- 
try.    With  great  respect, 

Lewis  H.  Steiner, 

Chief  Inspector.

THE  GREAT  FAIR. 

We  are  requested  io  say  that  the  '  <*iTjfinl  iiitelliirence' 
which  was  given  to  us  by  two  gentlemen  on  Saturday 
evening,  and  which  we  weir  solid  ted  to  publish,  that  The 
Fate  would  '  probably  elose  on  Thursday,  with  auction 

sales  on  Friday,'  was  urm -it!,, »■[■:,  il  ;  and  that  the  Execu- 
3  as  yet  passed  no    vole  to  that  effect.

So,  send  me  flowers  again, 
My  soldier— not  alone  of  Hope  and  Spring, 

Flowers  of  F nil  Summer!  through  the  crim 
And  UciUle-tlmndcrs  of  the  shaken  plain. 


That  ring  for  Joy  the  river-edges  down, 
And  white  Ptnecdili.  -.  with  the  spike  of  gold, 
That  clasp  the  perfect  crown  ! 

WAR'S  SPLENDORS,  AND  WAR'S  HORRORS. 

The  Devil  iiiu-t  walk  in  mavnilicent  robes! 

All  things  destructive  are  not  indeed  splendid  ;  for  the 
poison  that  lurks  within  the  chemist's  vial  will  kill  as 
surely  as  the  poniard  flashing  from  its  sheath,  or  the 
bomb  bursting  in  fiery  wrath  over  tic  doomed  and  flying 
household.  But  how  many  things  that  are  most  impos- 
ing in  their  distant  aspect,  are  also  most  terrific  in  their 
power  of  destruction  !  so  that  the  difference  between 
those  who  look  on  them  from  afar  and  those  who /erf 
them,  is  the  difference  he' v.  em  the  happy  child  who  ad- 
mires the  bhv/.o,  and  the  tortured  child  who  falls  into  its 
grasp;  between  the  spectator  beneath  the  cataract, 
watching  the  snowy  colmmis  that  rise  from  the  foot  to 
the  crest,  or  the  arching  prismatic  rainbow  above  them, 
and  the  shrieking  sufferer  who  is  hurled  through  the 
rapids,  and  flung  in  m.uej'led  mi-'-ry  from  the  edge  ! 

Men  go  from  all  Europe  to  see  the  volcano,  when  the 
cloudy  or  fiery  portents  show  that  the  eruption  draws 
near;  and  the  subsequent  magnificent  phenomena  shine 
re-produced  in  iVdmubig-  pictures,  by  the  pen,  or  on 
canvass.  But  the  cottager  who  is  caught  in  the  stream  of 
fire,  which  first  encircles  and  then  overflows  the  hillock 
on  which  hiR  hut  is  built— the  villagers  who  are  stormed 
upon  by  the  shower*  of  cinder.-,  nr  snJthcatcd  by  the  me- 
phitic  gases,  and  then  buried  where  they  fall  in  a  tumu- 
lus of  ashes — these  do  not  appreciate  the  brilliancy  of 
the  sight,  as  they  do  not  enjoy  the  portrait  which  pre- 
serves it.  It  is  to  them  mere  fire  and  brimstone,  and  a 
horrible  rage  of  subterranean  elements  let  loose  Jfor 
their  destruction  ;  tikiim-  the  air  with  a  carnival  oi  death, 
and  making  the  smiling,  familiar  glebe  a  smoking  hell. 

Of  all,  at   lean,  of  the  unmilitary  visitors,  who  throng 


l  busy  hands  and  grace- 
furnish  its  riches  and 
the  purchasers,  from 


half  so  many  as  this — have 
ever  seen  a  field  op  battle  ;  have  ever  walked  after- 
ward, within  a  few  days,  through  the  hospitals  in  which 
its  ghastly  and  terrible  tokens  are  assembled  !  We  have 
seen  the  holiday-side  of  War  so  exclusivoly,  that  our 
thoughts  of  the  other  and  more  real  side,  are  vague,  tra- 
ditkmal.  and.  fearfully  superficial. 

We  have  cheered  a-  the  regiments  marched  down 
Broadway;  andVith. sadder  yet,  still  exultant  hearts,  have 
welcomed  them  returning,  with  their  bronzed  faces  and 
tattered  banners,  tin  ir  faded  trappings  and  solid  tread. 
We  have  heard  the  exhilarating  r  'ports,  now  and  then, 
of  the  brilliant  skirmish,  or  the  -luvesshil  strategy.  But 
the  horrible  vortex  of  a  vast  Field  of  Battle,  into  which 
.-ucessive  charging  columns  go  down  with  shouts,  only 
to  he  rent  and  torn  in  piee,-,  he  grape-shot  and  canister, 
to  recoil  before  the  hay, -net-,  that  meet  them,  or  the  can 
non-shot  hurled  thvugh  their  shriveling  lines — the  Field 
on  which  arms  and  brains  air  scattered,  h  adhs,3  trunks 
and  fragmentary  bodies,  strewing  the  sod  that  is  slippery 
with  blood — while  ever  all  still  thunders  the  Artillery. 
and  broods  the  Smoke  that  covers  wHh  its  infernal  eano- 
py  the  dreadful  expanse — who  of  us  has  seen  [this? 
has  seen  mad  lmrs ■■*  furiously  galloping,  and  batteries 
rushing,  over  bodies  that  still  were  palpitating  with  life  ': 
has  felt  on  his  soul  the  tremendous  impression  of  suchja 
vast  gulf  of  scathing  tire  ,-  of  i's  linn  i  Me  shouts  of  anger, 
fear,  despair,  revenge  V  of  its  universal,  immeasurable 
destruction  ? 

It  was  the  remembrance  of  scenes  like  this  which 
made  the  Irou  Duke  d-Thii'e  toward  the  close  of 
in  the  House  of  Lords,  that  it  was  easy  for  gentl 
talk  about  War  who  never  had  seen  it ;  but  o 
Jtatf  seen  it  would  sacrifice  anything  hut  the  I 
Life  or  the  National  Honor,  in  order  to  avert  it. 

It  was  the  fact  that  their  action  led  directly  ( 
suit  in  scenes  like  this,  and  that  by  that  action 
enthroned  War  and  its  horrors  Jin  a  country  wl 
almost  half-a-century  had  been    cherisl 

appalling,  historic  crime  of  tlm^c  who  initiated  the  move- 
ment for  Secession.  As  erne  thinks  of  it,  Hanging  is  only 
too  good  for  them  :  and  the  Malting  curse  with  which 
History  forever  will  underscore  their  names  might  well 
leap  from  the  page,  and  cliug  eternally  to  their  iar-flying 


tiou — that  our  brave  soldier-,  on  behalf  of  home  and 
friends  and  Nation,  on  behalf  of  the  freedom  and  pros- 
parity  of  the  Land,  of  it-<  laws  and  liberiies  and  its  chris- 
tian institutions,  and  ot  all  the  great  hopes  of  the  Fu- 
ture which  are  based  on  them,  go  steadily,  frequently 
unshrinkingly  down  !— Is  it  a  great  thing  for  us  in  our 
safety  to  encourage  tin  in  by  our  sympathy  ?  for  us,  amid 
our  prosperous  streets,  to  minister  to  the  fragments

—  The  Pufi  Royal  Free  Pre$8,  an  army  newspaper 
published  before  Charleston,  says  : 

"  The  officers  of  the  United  States  Sanitary  Commis- 
sion have  won  for  themselves  a  splendid  reputation  in 
this  department.  They  have  by  their  discretion  and  zeal

in  the  hottest  of  tic  lire,  their  (mined  corps  picked  up

GREAT  FAIR. 


Inasmuch  as  Susan  had  I  ecu  for  days  constantly  at 
work  at  the  Academy,  I  was  somewhat  surprised  on 
Monday  morning  to  hear  her  say.  " 'Now,  Augustus,  1 
want  you  to  take  me  to  the  Fair."  With  that  intuitive 
perception  of  the  weak  point  in  an  argument  which  I 
share  in  common  with  tho  illustrious  but  honest  Abra 
ham  Lincoln,  I  remarked  that  I  thought  she  had  been  at 
tho  Fair  a  good  deal  already.  Her  reply  was  in  a  high 
degree  Susauic.  "  So  I  have,  but  Mercy  !  1  couldn't  see 
anything.     Why,  I  only  had  on  these  every-day  duds  I" 

That  settled  the  matter,  and  I  was  going  with  my 
wife  to  the  grand  Four  Dollar  Artist  Proof  Opening 
Night,  when  a  friend  from  the  country  came  to  visit  us, 
and  kept  us  both  at  home.  I  should  have  considered 
this  a  clear  saving  of  Four  Dollars,  had  I  not  known  that 
the  friend  aforesaid  would  make  a  visit  long  enough  to 
more  *haii  compensate  foi

HUNTERS  RIM; 

Hunter,  a  loyal  Tennosseenn,  came  t< 

rebel  prison.  He  was  ill.  wmtehed,  scurvy- 
sleeping  without  a  bed,  from  eating  without  food,  from 
living  without  vital  air,  or  motion,  or 
thing  else  that  makes  living  Life.  One  day,  when  he  was 
sitting  up,  he  told  me,  iu  a  dozen  words,  the  story  of  his 
"  enlisting."  "  They  watched  us."  he  said,  "me  and  the 
rest ;  they  thought  we  were  a-going  for  the  Union.  They 
watched  us  for  a  long  time.  Then  they  got  tired  o' 
watching  us,  and  we  mode  up  our  minds  what  to  do. 
There  was  a  dozen  of  us.  One  night  we  went  off;  we 
made  for  the  army." 

"What  army?"  I  asked. 

"  THE  ARMY."  he  repeated,  reprovingly  ;  "there  ain't

ing sublimely  the  existence  of  any  other. 

"  The  first  night  uv  spent  m  the  woods,"  he  said,  "and 
at  daylight  we  got  to  the  top  of  a  ridge,  where  we  could 
look  down  at  our  homes  behind  us.  They  were  getting 
up.  down  there,  and  making  the  fires,  1  saw  my  little 
house.  The  smoke  was  coining  up  ont  of  the  chimney. 
My  wife,  you  see,  she  got  up  early  that  day.  She  had  to 
make  the  fire.     My  home !— yes,   it  wns  MY  jiojie.    1+

Lights,  and  hid  days,  m  th.'  woods  ;  and  one  day  we  were 
mighty  near  the  rebel  pickets,  but   Robert  {indicating 


made  a  crackling  through    the

thought  it  was  cattle,  and  didn't,  pester  us;  and  so  we 
got  to  THE  ARMY  ;  and  three  days  after  that  we  went 
in  and  took  the  Gap.  And  I  just  wish  you'd  accept  this 
Ring,  with  my  coniplinents.  It  isn't  much,  but  I  hadn't 
nothiu,  to  work  with.  I  made  it  in  the  jail  in  Atlanta. 
You  see  we  couldn't  be  all  day  without  doing  somethin', 
and  whenever  we  made  one,  we  put  on  it  Union,  or  For-

[CONCLUDED.] 

Mrs,  Stowe's  patleiie  description 
and  burial  gnve  us  om  of  the  heartiest  crying-spells  we 
have  had  since  "  Uncle  Torn  "  appeared.  It  is  at  this 
point  in  the  work  that  little  Henry  Ward  appears  first— 
'  iu  golden  curls  and  Muck  frock."  who  is  found  one 
d?y  industriously  digging  under  his  riser's  window,  in 
the  ground.  When  called  to  know  what  he  is  doing,  he 
answered  "  I'm   going   to  dig  ihromyh  to  heaven  to  find 

Through  all  this  volume  Master  Henry  appears  as  such 
.  exemplary  lad  that  we   wonder   who  ever  put  him  up 
the  mischievous    pranks   he   has  r»;-ii\i'ij„if/y  practised 
ice.     All  the  boys  are  their  lather's  companions  in  fish- 
ing, hunting  chesnut-gath.-ring  and  discussing  theology. 
Ou  winter  evenings,  while  Dr.  Be.  cln-r  drives  briskly  the 
apple-paring  machine,  ho  is  annum:  with    the  lads  about 
Eniiariauisni  and  Dr.   Emmons'  tie  ories  on  the  nature  of 
sin  !     Are  boys  so  educated  now-a-days  ? 

Dr.  Beecher   himself    figures    superbly  as  the  most 

powerful   preacher  and   fearless    relormer  of  his  time. 

To-day  he  thunders  on  t>mpu  a  nee  ;  next  day  he  is  at  work 

forming  Missionary  and    Bibl<-    Societies ;  then  firing 

shot  into  Socinianisin  ;  and  all   the    while  delivering 

or  eight  sermons  and   lecturers  per  week!     He  is  a 

terrible  toiler.     He    says:  "The    Lord   drove  me,  and  I 

have  been  always  going  at  full  speed."     No  wonder  that 

the  over-driven  engine  gave  out  at  last.  He  did  ten  men's 

rork  at  once. 

When  we  ouce  asked  Dr.  Skinner  what  was  the  great- 
it  sennon  he  ever  heard,  he  replied  :"  It  was  Dr. 
Beecher's  sermon  on  God's  government."    Dr.    S.  said: 


that 


rjV.ebr  r.  plied  :   "  Forty  t/COTS /" 

The  first  speech  we  ever  heard  from  the  Boanerges  was 

in  Park  Street  Church,  Boston,  in  1845.     He  wore  an  old 

Boston  wrap; ii  r,  and  whih-  ho  -poke  he  drewalar^o 

silk  haiulkorcliief  through  his  hands.      His  address  was 

full  of  quaint  cast-irou  wit.     Occasionally  he  thundered 

and  lightened.  "  Are  you  not  afraid  of  error  in  the  West  ?" 

he  exclaimed  ;  "  you  ought  Id  be !     It  is  idle  to  cry,  There 

danger!     If  Noah  had  not  been  afraid  in  time  he 

his    whole    family    would   have    been   fna/i/ip/d.      Be 

I  in  time!"    In  Dr.  Taylor's  lecture-room  we  heard 

make  an  extraordinary  speech  ;  hut  oecasiomdlv  hi- 

illustrations  bordered  very  closely  on  the  irreverent.  This 

re  of  the  small  spots  on  a  meridian  suu  of  rare 

or.     Blessed  old  man  !     He  left  not  his  like  behind 

He  was  the  last  of  the  giants.     Well  might  one  of 

is  say,  "it  takes  the  whole  of  us  put  together  to 

equal  our  father."

Mn.  Editor:  The  Fair,  as 
corned,  is  a  miserable  failure  1 

Wbat  sane  man  ever  beard  of  a  bridge  over  dry 
uround?  The  idea  is  preposterous!  Look  at  onr  canals  : 
are  they  not  spanned  by  bridges  i  And  what  its  a  canal  ? 
Certainly  not  a  collodion  of  bare  cobble-stones,  staring 
up  at  yon  as  you  go  over  them  dry  shod !  There  has  been 
gross  neglect  somewhere-neglect  meriting  the  severed 
censure. 

Who  are  the  Bridge  Committee  ?  Are  they  men  1 
Not  mucn  I  ienr.  And  where  are  the  Eidgewood  Corpo- 
rators ?  An:  they  asleep  ?  or  are  tlmy  lying  corpses  at  the 
bottom  of  their  own  capacious  tanks? 

This  condition  of  things  should  be  allowed  to  last  nc 
longer.  Let  the  fountain  in  the  Park  be  made  to  play 
again,  and  its  myriad -n.vmns.  diverted  from  their  wonted 
course,  be  made  to  flow  like  a  mighty  flood  into  then 
pm|"T  cliKimi-1—  Muuingue  street. 

Then,  and  not  till  then,  will  the  persons  having  this 
matter  in  charge  have  "  acted  well  their  part,"  and  an 
nutra-ed  populace  he  eatiBfiod.  Y-  z- 

It  shall  be  done— if  the  Fair  only  lasts  long  enough, 
as  the  dry  joke  doesn't  seem  to  be  appreciated.

ANOTHER. CONTRIBUTION  FROM  PRIVATE  MILKS 
O'REILLY. 
The  following  lines,  written  by  Corporal  Casey, 
Orderly  at  Gen.  John  A.  Logan's  Headquarters,  have  been 
sent  to  us  by  Private  Miles  Oliiley,  Fort.vsev.-nth  New 
York  Volunteers,  who  regrets  his  own  inability  to  con- 
tribute anything  original  to  our  minimis  in  addition  to 
what  he  has  already  sent  us.  He  says,  in  his  letter  of 
transmittal,  that  Corporal  Casey  is  "a  great  scholar,  all 
out,  as  you  may  see  by  the  pure  Greek  an'  Hebrew  quo- 
tations with  which  ho  has  besprinkled  it— just  for  all  the 
world  as  a  knowin  cook  puts  cxtlmi  plums  into  her  Christ- 
mas puddin' ;  not  because  it  makes  the  puddin'  any  bet- 
ter but  because  the  cbildor— God  be  good  to  them  I— 
wouldn't  think  it  a  Christmas  puddin'  at  all,  if  it  wom'fc

Here  are  specimens  oi'.,M  china,  cmiug  down  \,v  regular 
descent  from  Gov.  William  Bradford  ;  a  Bradford  chub- 
stands  in  front.  Iu  the  case  is  a  Mayflower  table-cloth  ; 
a  .Louis  Seize  napkin  ;  a  Washington  punch-bowl,  which 
has  ministered  to  such  thirdly  souls  as  Washington,  La- 
fayette, Knox,  Steuben,  and  others  ;  a  Siamese  Custom 
House  clearance,  very  unlike  those  supplied  by  Mr.  Bar- 
ney ;  an  electro  copy  of  u  rare  cameo  in  the  Cabinet  of 
Antiquities  at  Vienna— the  subject  is  the  Apotheosis  of 
Augustus,  especially  valuable  as  containing  portraits  of 
members  of  the  Austrian  Imp.  rial  family;  a  lock  of 
Napoleon's  hair,  well  authenticated  and  amply 
verified;  a  dagger  from  the  Emperor  of  China's  palace, 
taken  at  the  sacking  by  the  English  mid  French  troops  ; 
shoe*  of  various  cuiors.  in  silk  and  satin,  as   worn  by  our 


f  China. 

We  are  carried  back  to  Shakspeare's  day  by  miniature 
copies  of  the  home  in  which  he  was  |born,  including  the 
Game  Keeper's  Lodge.  Ann  Hathaway's  Cottage,  and  the 
Globe  Tavern  ;  alto  Kubbings  froi 

"Good  friend 


Reverting  to  more  miscellaneous  articles,  we  find  a 
pike  from  Fort  Wagner— a  cruel  weapon  ;  buckleB  and 
ear-rings,  set  with  brilliants,  as  worn  by  our  ancestors 
one  hundred  years  ago ;  a  charming  little  affair  for 
young  mothers,  being  a  complete  suit  of  an  infants'  un- 
deit.dothmg.ol  curious  workmanship,  and  with  the  date 
of  its  embroidery-1739— worked  in  it  ;  a  Miles  Standish 
hoe  ;  a  remarkable  idol  and  vases,  from  Indian  Tumuli  in 
Virginia  and  Ohio;  a  British  signal-book,  of  1715,  care- 
fully executed  ;  a  charming  little  tobacco-box,  used  by 
the  ladies  of  the  N.  W.  Coast  ;  a  fuU  Court  dress  of  a 
Nubian  lady  of  quality— so  says  a  reliable  committeeman 

independent  of  crinoline 

in  bronze,  attached 

having  profile  portraits  of  t 

waB  discovered  in  excavating  for  tl 

new  Custom  House  in   Savannah,  and    was  donbtles 

dropped  by  one  of  D'Estaing's  men  at  some  sailor  frolic. 
mortals  occur  on  almojt  every  ehelf- 
i  re-pi  stable    armory— musket--,  pistol. 


Rebel  i 


tie  of   Bunker  Hill  by   ('apt.  McJ'lary  :    a 
u-siun  sabre,  taken  in  the  Crimean  war;  So 
.spurs,  riding  whirs,   ami  stirrups,  which  h 
doubtless  had  their  day  upon  the  Pampas  ;  and  a  pai 
ladies'  pantelettes  from  tie-  sane-  sunny  clime.     Such 
some  of  the   curiosities  oi    this    interesting  room.     Near 
a    beautifully  embroidered  vest  of   Hancock  is  a  chip 
from  the  Hancock  House.  ,,f  Boston,  ...-.insisting  of  a  email 
piece  of  cedar  lath   taken  from  the  plastering  when  the 
building  was  torn  down  and  demolished,  not  to  say  dese- 
crated— ou   the  site  of  which  are  soon   to  be    erected 
two  splendid  mansions,    probably   for  respectable    and 
"  solid  men  of  Boston." 

On  the  same  shelf  with  the  relics  of  "  Hancock,"  we 
notice  a  live-oak  whip,  being  an  undoubted  and  veritable 
chip  from  the  celebrated  frigate  Constitution  given  to 
the  present  owner  by  that  galboil  and  brave  officer,  Com- 
mander Joseph  Smith,  now  at.  tie  k<  ad  of  the  Naval  Bu- 
rcau  at  Washington,  while  in  command  at  Charleston, 
and  while  the  Constitution  was  under  repair  ;  also  co- 
incident with  the  period  when  her  "figure-head"  was 
sawed  off  one  stormy  night— as  bold  an  act  perhaps  as 
ever  occurred  on  her  decks. 

A  sword  from  Bunker  Hill  is  also  to  be  seen  here.  It 
is  an  old  English  hanger,  worn  and  used  on  Bunker  Hill 
by  Captain,  afterwards  General,  George  Reid,  who  com- 
manded a  New  Ham | --hire  r-  L-iuii-nT  throughout  the  war, 
was  with  Washington  at  Valley  Forge,  was  in  the  bat- 
ties  of  Saratoga.  Ticoiuleioga,  White  I'biins.Germautown, 
Long  Island,  ic.  It  is  now  in  possession  of  his  grandson; 
who,  though  legally  exempt  from  the  draft,  expressea  his 
determination  to  volunteer  when  General  Toombs  pro- 
ceeds to  "  call  the  roll  of  hifl  slaves  on  Bunker  Hid,"  as 
he  has  promised. 

We  also  notice  a  small  hook  tuken  from  the  celebrated 
rebel  gunboat  Atlanta,  a  part  of  whose  programme  was 
the  destruction  of  our  blockading  fleet  and  of  the  cities 
of  Brooklyn  and  New  York. 

The  Curiosity  Room  also  contains  Dr.  Kane's  flag,  which 
he  .arried  to  the  Arctic  re-ions,  and  set  up  about  as  near 
the  North  Pole  as  anybody  need  wish  to  go.  There  ie 
also  to  be  seen  a  letter  from  General  Washington.  It  is 
exhibited  by  Mr.  Van  Zaudt.  who  values  it  at  one  hun- 
dred dollars.  Mr.  Van  Zandt  has  also  on  exhibition  a 
bos  made  from  wood  of  Capt.  Cook's  ship  "The  Enter- 
prise;" also,  half-a-dozen  copies  ot  the  lac  simile  of  the 
Nacport  Mercury  of  the  last  century,  the  foe  simUes 
having  been  printed  on  the  press  which  Franklin  used, 
ami  from  the  old  types.

QUEENS,  THY  NURSES. 
The  Army  is  not  very  much  like  the  Church  ;  but  in  one 
respect  it  almost  anticipates  the  millennial  prerogative  of 
the  Church  :— that  it  has  representatives  of  some  of  the 
queenliest  of  American  Women  to  administer  to  the  wants 
of  its  wounded  and  sick  ;  to  perform,  often  with  gixlish- 
grace,  but  equally  with  matronly  facility,  dexterity,  and 
a  maternal  solicitude,  the  function  of  Nurses  in  its " 


3  at  stake  in  that 
e  land, than  have 
.only  the  lives  of 


.,.,|lli|]...->  o 


pitals. 

No  class  in  the  country  has  had  n 
great  struggle  which  still  agitates 
its  cultured  Christian  Women.  N 
husbands,  brothers,  lovers,  and  sons  have  bee 
mediately  in  peril,  in  the  battles  fought,  or  in 
ed  and  malarious  camps.  Not  only  have  their 
comfort  and  prosperity  been,  in  multitudes  o 
xectly  imperiled  by  the  dangers  which  threatened  those, 
on  whom  they  have  leaned.  The  peculiar  civilization, 
whose  characteristic  and  glory  it  has  been  to  elevate 
Woman,  has  here  been  at  stake.  The  whole  great  Op- 
portunity of  the  Sex  on  this  continent— the  opportunity 
for  free  and  full  development,  intellectual  and  moral,  and 
for  a  constant  and  beneficent  use  of  all  the  fine  and  ad- 
mirable powers  which  God  has  given  to  the  soul  of  Wo- 
man—all  this  has  been  assailed,  directly  and  most  obvi- 
ously, by  the  frantic  fury  of  the  Rebellion.  If  disintegra- 
tion, then  constant  and  bitter  sectional  war  raging  along 
the  frontier  lines  of  the  fragmentary  States,  then  : 
tary  despotisms,  as  the  alternative  or  the  necessary 

his,— if  these  had  come,  as  successful  Rebel 
ve  made  them  come  throughout  the  coun- 
try, in  place  of  our  old  Constitutional  liberty  and  inter 
nal  tranquility,  then  the  chance  of  the  Sexto  attain  the 
true  dignity,  u-  mine??  and  hairiness  which 
ble  for  it,  would  have  been  for  long,  if  not  finally,  blasted. 
To  expect  the  wives  and  daughters  of  our  househol 
be,  amid  such  conditions  as  these,  what  they  would 
been  amid  Peace— it  were  as  wise  to  expect  the  books  and 
(lir'tuivs  in  our  libraries,  and  the 
ing-rooms,  to  stand  untouched,  the 
gardens  to  continue  to  develop,  when  th 
earth  had  been  broken  by  subterranean 
the  Heights  had  sunk  beneath  a  salt  and  bitter  sea ! 

It  is  becauso,  unconsciously,  or  more  distinctly,  they 
have  recognized  this,  and  not  merely  because  of  their 
general  sympathy  with  the  needy  and  suffering— however 
active  that  may  have  been— that  the  loyal  Christian  Wo- 
men of  the  Nation  have  from  the  first  been  moved  to  bucIi 
enthusiasm,  and  prompted  to  such  personal   effort  and 
sacrifice,  in  connection  with  this  War  ;  that  they  joir 
so  earnestly  in  the  first  impulse  of  patriotic  feeling  af 
Sumter  had    fallen,  themselves    indeed    contributing 
much  to  swell  and  widen  that  great  impulse  j  that  they 
have  since  given  up  their  loved  ones  with  such  te 
readiness,  to  the  camp  and  the  contest ;  that  they 
organized    Relief    Associations    all  over  the  North,  and 
through  these  have  made  tl 
field  of  encampment  or  of  battle  their  gratoful  beneficia- 
ries.    And  it  is  in  the  same  impulse — intelligent,  consci- 
entious,   thoroughly   n 
Christian— that  many  of  the  loveliest  and  noblest  among 
thorn,  of  these  most  delicately  trained  and 


times  from  the  ease  of  competence  or 
sores,  bind    up    the 

spirits,  and

"When  Heaven  is  about  to  confer  a  great  office  on  a 
man,  it  first  exercises  his  mind  with  suffering,  and  his 
sinews  and  bones  with  toil ;  it  exposes  his  body  to  hun- 
ger, and  subjects  him  to  extreme  poverty  ;  it  conlbunda 
his  undertakings.  By  all  these  means,  it  stimulates  his

MY  EXPERIENCE  OF  THE  GREAT  FAIR. 
VII. 
I  had  heard  a  great  deal  about  the  system  of  classifi

Susan  proposed  to  purchase  a  few  things  for  the  baby,  I 
felt  a  blissful  certainty  that  we  should  not  be  obliged  to 
turn  over  every  pile  of  goods  in  the  Academy  to  find 
what  was  wanted.  I  replied  therefore  with  cheerful  re- 
signation :  "  Well,  my  love,  let's  go  at  once  to  the  Baby 
Department."  Alas!  within  six  feet  stood  an  anomaly 
called  a  Special  Table.  It  was  stocked  with  as  much 
variety  as  a  country  Btore ;  and  Iutants'  Clothing  was 
fearfully  prominent.  After  half-an-hour's  patient  investi- 
gation, Susan  found  that  everything  on  the  table  was  too 
farge  or  too  small,  or  both.  I  suppose  a  good  many 
youngladics  had  devoted  themselves  to  baby-clothes,  be- 
cause they  were  easy  to  make  ;  and  I  confess  I  should 
like  to  see  the  baby,  measuring  two  feet  across  the  back, 
and  only  three  inches  from  the  shoulder  to  the  wrist, 
who  was  expected  to  wear  those  shirts  and  sacks  and 
wrappers.  After  trying  six  special  tables,  we  approached 
the  InfantB'  Department,  My  wife  now  threw  off  the 
careless,  critical  air  which  she  had  worn,  and  went  at  the 
piles  of  goods  with  the  unmistakable  manner  of  a  woman 
bent  on  buying.  Blankets,  petticoats,  slips,  socks,  dress- 
es, undresses,  bonnets,  and  hoods  were  purchased  in  swiit

terrible  toiler.  He  says:  "The  Lord  drove  me,  and  I 
have  been  always  going  at  lull  speed."  No  wonder  that 
the  over-driven  engine  gave  nut  at  hist.  He  did  ten  men's 
work  at  once. 

When  we  once  ask.-d  Dr.  Skinner  what  was  the  great- 
est sermon  he  ever  heard,  he  replied  :"  It  was  Dr. 
Beeeher's  sermou  <m  God's  government."  Dr.  S.  said:

AN  OYSTER  SONG. 
There  hoe  been  handed  about,   along  the  Bhoroe  of  t 

October;  but  the  gentleman  who  has  favored  us  withaco; 
more  aptly  styles  It  a  "  Hard-8hell  Lyric."  We  believe 
appears  in  print  for  the  firet  time. 

The  Latin  version  of  it  was  appended  by  a  learned  Fro- 
feasor  in  Baltimore,  whose  name  we  hardly  feel  warranted 
to  give,  although  many  will  "  know  the  hand- writing."  Ht 
is  as  familiar  with  the  metre  of  poetry,  English  and  Latin, 
ae  with  the  metrology  of  pounds,  bushels,  and  foot-rules, 
or  the  measurements  of  engineering.  D.

while  tho  contributions  received  since  tho  opening  day, 
have  been  duly  set  in  their  proper  places. 

In  our  "record"  of  yesterday  we  gave  some  account  of 
the  curiosities  and  relics  on  exhibition  on  the  first  floor 
of  the  Museum,  in  the  Taylor  Building.  The  second 
floor  is  devoted  chiefly  to  engravings,  from  the  collections 
of  Rev.  Henry  Ward  Beecher,  and  others.  Those  loaned 
by  Mr.  Beecher  are  of  a  peculiar  interest,  including,  as 
they  do,  specimens  of  admirable  engravings  from  the 
works  of  old  Italian  artists— perhaps  better  known  here 
by  their  names  than  by  anything  else.  Almost  every 
one  is  familiar  at  least  with  the  composition  of  the  more 
famed  works  of  Raphael,  and  Guido,  and  Murillo ;  but  Mr. 
Beecher's  collection  seems  particularly  devoted  to  are- 
presentation  of  those  works  of  Corrcggio,  the  originate  of 
which  exist  at  Parma,  and  have  not  been  as  extensively 
copied  as  the  famous  pictures  at  Rome  and  Florence.  It 
is  to  Parma  that  travelers  must  go  to  seo  Correggio,  as

Mr.  J.  M.  Falconer  exhibits  foinr  choice  specimens  of 
the  Engravers'  art.  Mr.  S.  B.  Caldwell  has  added  to  the 
collection  an  artists  proof  of  Lemon's  engraving  of 
Frith's  celebrated  pointing,  the  "  Derby  Day,"  with  its 
wonderful  variety  of  the  English  character  of  twlay. 
It  is  placed  over  the  mantelpiece  of  the  large  room,  and 
merits  a  close  study,  as  being  a  faithful  transcript  of  one 
of  the  most  popular  pictures  of  the  day— a  picture  which 
was  sold  for  a  price  such  as  any  of  the  old  masters  would 
_  have  thought  a  fortune. 

In  one  of  the  Engraving  rooms  is  an  album  containing

»    A  correspondent,  who  has  probably  forgotten  that  the 
old  painters  generally  viewed  their  paintings  rather  as 
delineations  of  a  future  than   a  present  state,  and  could

-.  Ivihjra  large  loiio  which  he  had    been 


While  admiring,  last  evening  the  b 
of  Mr.  Beecher's  engravings,  ^in  the  1 
corner  of  Montague  place  and  Clinton 
moBt  attractive  rooms,  by  the  way,  in  the  whole  Fair- 
my  attention  was  called  to  a  re-presentation  of  the  Ho' 
Family,  an  excellent  reproduction  of  the  painting  by 
Del  Sarto.  Mary  sits  on  a  cou 
Saviour  in  her  lap,  while  Joseph,  like  the  considerate 
husband  he  undoubtedly  was,  is  entertaining  his  family 
by  reading  to  them  from  a  large  book— some  black-let- 
tered folio,  or  perhaps  his  Family  Bible— and  they  are 
piously  engaged  in  their  morning  devotions.  On  the 
couch,  by  the  side  of  Mary,  is  a  handsome  duodecimo 
volume,  hound  with  clasps.  It  is  pleasing  to  6ee,  from 
these  indications,  not  only  that  they  were  a  reading 
family,  but  that  the  nrt  of  book-making  had  made  so 
great  progress,  considering  that  the  Appletons  or  the 
Harpers  did  not  have  a   branch 


yean  since  at  John  Reese's  au( 
the  most  entertaining  places  of  resort  in  the  city  you 
remember,  the  anachronisms  of  which  were  rather 
more  ridiculous  thun  this.  It  purported  to  be  the  intro- 
duction of  Hagar  to  Abraham  by  Sarah.  The  venerable 
man  was  Bitting  in  an  easy  arm  chair  by  the  side  of  a 
mahogany  stand,  on  which,  be#ide  his  vials  of  medicine 


red  between  the  leaves,  giving  sad  proof  that  his 
memory  had  began  to  fail.  Behind  him  was  a  high 
French  bedstead,  over  which  was  an  elegant  canopy. 
Different  articles  of  furniture  were  scattered  about  the 
room,  and  on  the  further  side  a  broad  and  easy  staircase 
led  up,  probably,  to  the  "  prophet's  chamber,"  as  the  good 
old  patriarch's  house  must  have  been  the  favorite  stop- 
ping  place  of  the  clergy  of  that  day.  On  the  whole  the 
picture  was  calculated  to  remove  some  long-standing  im- 
pressions respecting  the  domestic  arrangements  of  those 
dwellers  in  tents,  and  showed  that  in  the  painter's  mind, 
at  least,  we  of  modern  tinieB,  are  not  entitled  to  the  cre- 
dit of  originating  all  the  conveniences  with  which  our 
houses  are  furnished.  The  art  of  upholstery 
lar  must  have  reached   quite  a  high  state  ( 


Some  years  before,  in  a  picture-gallery  in  the  building 
on  the  corner  of  Broadway  and  Chambers  street,  now 
Delmonico's,  and  formerly  the  Irving  House,  1  saw  a 
large  paiuting  representing  the  Adoration  of  the  Shep- 
herds, in  which  one  of  the  number  was  evidently  a  pil- 
grim from  the  "  land  o'cakes,"  with  his  Scotch  plaid  over 
hi-  shoulder  and  his  bag-pipe  under  his  arm  ! 

There  is  something  o/iile  engaging  in  the  simplicity— 
don't  call  it  by  a  harsher  name — of  these  artists,  who  are 
unwilling  to  sacrifice  "  effect"  for  such  an  inconsiderable 
trifle  as  historic  consistency. 

We  leave  this  delightful  room  for  the  present,  to  men- 
tion that  a  superb  pair  of  Skates  have  been  contributed  by 
Fred.  S.  Hassam,  the  celebrated  manufacturer,  of  Boston, 
through  Messrs.  White  &  Nichols,  his  Brooklyn  agents 
They  are  valued  at  $150;  and  this  sum  was  offered  fo] 
them  -on  Saturday  by  a  New  York  gentleman  of  "  coppcr- 

idencies,"  if  the  picture  of  Mr.  Beecher  could 
moved,  and  another  substituted  ;  a  condition  inadniissi- 

woods  are  of  r  jsewood  inlaid  with  German  silver, 
e  runners  of  steel,  polished  like  silver  mirrors.  In 
ntre  of  one  skate  is  an  oval  photograph  of  Wash- 
ington, and  in  the  other  of  Rev.  H.  W.  Beecher,  both  cov- 
ered with  "  Venice  glass."  They  form  a  Buperb  specimen 
of  art,  and  we  understand  it  is  contemplated  to  sell  them 
by  shares  for  presentation  to  Mr.  Beecher.  We  doubt 
anybody  has  seen  that  gentleman  on  "  rockers"  since  1 
baby-days  .     May  we  bethere  when  he  tries  them  ! 

A  number  of  ladies  have  conducted  a  department  e 
clusively  for  the  sale  of   Wax    Flower    Work,   and  t"

A  curious  addition  to  the  numerous  donations  is  that 

twenty  specimens  of  the  "  Seimpre  Vive  "   or  "  Live 

Forever  "    plant,  a    native  of  Mexico,    donated    by  Mr. 

Palmer,  of  Paris.     The  plant  ordinarily  resembles  a  tuft 

grass,  but    when   placed  in  a  vessel  of   water  as-

perfect  gems,  and  are  tor    sale    at  the   Flatbush  table.

hundred  of  the  clother- w  lingers  of  Their  manufacture; 
but  as  they  are  unable  to  fill  their  orders,  they  have  sent 
to  the  Fair  Rooms  but  twelve,  as  samples  by  which  sales

Fair  violets,  like  drops  of  bloom,

OUR  WAR  FOR  DEMOCRACY. 


grown  more  direct    as    the    principles    involved  in  this 
sfTiiggle  have  become    more    clearly    apparent.     A  man 
lits  hard  in  defence  of   his    own    rights  ;    and  the  people 
Lave  begun  to  see  that  this  war  is  not  lor  the  Union 
done,  not  to  save  the  government  alone,  but  to  save  their 
avii  most  sabred  rigMsan.l  ni"st  valued  privileges.     It  is 
i  war  of  the  people,  for    the    people.     "We,  the  people," 
founded  this  Republic  ;  mid  We.  tin-  people,  will  maintain 
For  the  fir3t  tim-  in  the  history  of  the  world,  a  gov- 
nent  was  establish.'.!  professedly  on   «    foundation  of 
right.     All  other  governments  rested  upon  force  or  privi- 
lege.    Ours,  was  to  secure  the  liberty  and  equality  of  all. 
But  though  the  foundation  was  thus  solidly  and  nobly 
superstructure    has    not  folly  answered  to  the 
original  design.     Our  institutions  failed  to  correspond  to 
r  professions  of  principle.     Our  government  became  as 
it  too  had  rested  upon  force  and  privilege.     Liberty 
me  to  mean,  not  the  liberty  of  all,  hut  of  a  class.    Equal- 
-  \v:i-  interpreted  as  being  not    an   inalienable    righto: 
in,  but  a  possesion  o!   certain  privileges    by  a   portion 
mankind.     It  was  declared  that  there  were  classes  of 
en  who  had  no  rights  that  other  classes  were  bound  to 
respect. — So  far  had  our  practice  departed   from  our  prin- 

the  other  was  to  he 

the  old  false  priie-iplo-,  the  pernicious  doctrine  of  liberty, 
the  pestilent  notion  of  equality,  the  foolish  regard  for 
abstract  rights.  The  few  have  an  absolute  right  to  gov- 
ern the  many.  Laborers  must,  labor  lor  others.  Money, 
political  power,  social  advantages,  belong  to  the  govern- 
ing class.  Justice  is  a  matter  of  circumstances.  Th« 
North— a  democracy— said  :  Abandon  the  new  bad  prac- 
tice*. Hold  fast  to  the  old  principles.  Men  have  inalien 
able  rights  to  liberty,  to  equality.  Justice  is  eternal, 
universal,  immutable. 

So  came  the  war.     The  South,  on  the  one  hand,  fig! 
ing  against  the  Government,  the  Union,  the  people,  tl 
The  North,  on  the  other  hand,  fighting 
rui-ml    liberty,  to  make  men

oiilv  gives  dignity  tind  inter 
est  to  these  present  days,  but  throws  back  its  light  upon 
the  past.  For,  rei-on-ni/ing  thai  this  war  is  a  legacy  to  ub 
from  the  past,  the  natural  result  and  necessary  is.-ue  of 
the  errors  and  sins  of  former  generations,  as  well  as  of 
our  own,  the  intelligence  with  which  we  study  history  is 
quickened,  and  the  sense  of  the  intimate  indissoluble 
moral  relation  of  mankind  from  age  to  age  vastly  en- 
larged. Nor  is  this  all.  The  heroic  actions  of  men  in 
old  times  revive  in  modern  deeds.  Plutarch's  characters 
become  our  contemporaries.  The  knights  of  chivalry  are 
comrades  of  the  brave  soldiers  who  fight  for  the  Stirs 
and  Stripes.  The  Good  Old  Cause  oi  tlie  Commonwealth 
of  England,  is  the  Good  Old  Cause  of  our  grander  com- 
monwealth. Sidney  and  Sir  Join,  Eliot  arc  not  mere  ex- 
amples to  the  youth  of  our  day.  We  have  our  rudei 
Bayards.  Milton  is  the  defender  of  our  liberties.  The 
songs  sung  for  freedom  in  other  days  inspire  our  hearts. 
and  the  blows  struck,  for   Justice    and    Right   in  all  past

claim  to.     We  are  finishing  what  our  fathers  began.  The 
principles  which  they  asserted,  we  believe  in,  and 
.■arrviiig  into  fulfilment.     "We,  the  people,"  mean  as

We  may  yet  have  b>  light    long  before  we  come  to  t 
peace  ;  for  we  shall  have  to  fight,  not  only  the  armies 
the  South,  but  its    ignorance,  and    all    its    allies  at  1

One  of  the  gifts  made  to  The  Fair  is  of  such  a  charac- 
r,  and  from  such  a  source,  that  we  depart  from  our  uBital 
istom  so  far  as  to  notice  it  on  this  page,  and  to  call 
lecial  attention  to  it,  It  is  a  complete  model  of  a  Pou- 
ion  Bridge,  made  expressly  for  our  Fair,  by  the  ollicers 
nd  men  of  t-ho  Fiftieth  Regiment  of  New  York.  En- 
gineers, in  the  brigade  of  Gen.  Bdnham.  The  work  was 
uperintended,  in  all  its  progress,  by  Capt.  Ford.  It  is  a 
perfect  model— correct  and  complete  in  every  particular; 
tch  screw,  bolt,  and  nut  bring  in  its  place,  and  even  the 
sliings  in  their  proper  places  and  proportions.  It  was 
work  of  great  labor  and  care— the  cost  of  one  wagon) 
if  paid  for  at  ordinary  day-wages,  being  not  less  than 
$40  ;  and  of  the  whole,  §100.  Two  photographic  views 
of  a  Bridge,  as  erected,  accompany  the  gift ;  the  frames 
of  the  photographs  being  made  from  the  wood  of  Rebel 
pontoons,  which  have  been  captured. 

perfect  and  beautiful  model  of  a  Block  house  accora- 
l's  the  Bridge  ;  a   model   made  by  (wo  of  the  soldiers 
and  exquisitely  finished. 

All  the  articles  were  packed  and  forwarded  to  the 
Fair,  with  a  note  from  Gen.  Renluini,  presenting  them 
in  the  name  of  the  ollicers  ami  men,  and  another  note 
from  Capt,  Ford,  explaining  their  details.  They  are 
offered  for  sale,  and  it  has  been  proposed  that  they  be 
purchased  by  subscription,  and  presented  to  the  Poly- 
technic Institute,  for  the  use  of  those  who  may  there 
pursue  the  study  of  civil  engineering.    The  plan   is  an

SWORD  PRESENTATION. 

On  Monday  evening  a  Urge  number  of  ladies  and  gentlemen 
assembled  in  the  office  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the 
Fair,  for  the  purpose  of  presenting  a  sword,  Baah,  and  belt 
to  Lieut.  Col.  Hooper,  of  the  Fifteenth  Massachusetts  Vol- 
unteers, who  recently  escaped,  with  other  oflieers,  from  the 
Libby  Prison,  at  Richmond. 

At  9  o'clock,  James  Fl.  I'nithinL'lmm,  Esq.,  the  Treasurer, 
and  a  personal  friend  of  C>l.  Honpcr,  introduced  him  to  the 
company,  after  which  A.  A.  Low,  Esq.,  President  of  the 
Gener.il  Committee,  addressed  him  in  some  graceful  and 
earnest  words,  closing  thus :

LETTER  FROM  A    BOSTON    LADY  AT  HOME. 
Boston,  Feb.  27,  1864. 

Mb.  Editor  :  Ibave  just  read  the  "  Dbum  Beat"  of  Feb. 
24th,  which  proclaims  the  auspicious  opening  of  the  Brook- 
lyn Sanitary  Fair.  I  knew  the  culture,  public  Bpirit,  and 
patriotism  of  your  city  well  enough  to  predict  that  these 
Fair  Days  would  be  a  succession  of  triumphs,  as  the  sequel 
is  proving. 

Bntlmuat  confess  myself  shocked  nl  fin.'  exhibition  ot 
the  tasteot  Brooklyn  people.  "  Our  Daily  Record"  in  the 
Drum  Beat  of  this  date,  is  almost  entirely  devoted  to  the 
details  of  the  Restaurant. 

First,  we  have  a  disquisition  npon  cuke,  which  is  light, 
delicate,  and  spicy,  as  its  subject.  Nest,  a  critique,  refined 
and  elaborate,  upon  the  saccharine  creations  of  Knicker- 
bocker Hall,  which  so  captivates  us  by  its. ■■.-,, I  imagery,  that 
we  begin  at  once  to  calculate  how  a  statue  of  General  Bauks, 
or  General  Butler,  would  look  cast  in  sugar  (brown  sugar, 
of  course,)  and  placed  in  our  State  Hon-,  -grounds,  to  match 
the  bronze  statue  of  Webster.  But  suddenly  (no  aeronaut 
ever  experienced  a  greater  sle.uk  in  hilling  from  a  balloon  to 
a  hog  ?)  we  arc  precipitated,  statu.-  ;',ml  all,  from  the  realm 
of  "  High  Art  and  Sugar"  to  the  "  Ueilminmt  doors,  which 
had  to  be  closed,  so  great  was  the  rush  for  food  !"  Pray 
tell  me,  have  your  good  people  been  keeping  Lent  for 
the  last  six  months  f  or  have  all  the  Libby  prisoners  sudden- 
ly been  let  loose  upon  you  ?  I  trust  that  a  Bread-riot  is  not 
imminent;  that  these  surging  crowds  will  not  prove  muti- 
nous, and  in  their  fierce  iconoclastic  rage  demolish  the  lair 
idols  of  Lowber's  temple  !  I  would  modestly  hint,  that  it 
the  sumptuary  aspect  of  your  Fair  continues  unchanged, 
the  labors  of  the  Sanitary  Commission  might  be  made  ser- 
viceable at  home. 

As  a  relief  to  the  Record  cited  above,  I  read  "  The  Auto- 
graph Collection."     This  was  very  happily  sandwiched,  as  a 

to  rest  all  my  fears  for  your  ability  to  supply  the  physical) 
announcing  the  sale,  by  order  of  the  Refreshment  Commit- 
tee, of  a  pair  of  "Devon  Steers,  live  weight  four  thousand 
three  hundred  pounds,"  etc.  That  will  do  !  If  you  have 
such  "  baskets  full  of  fragments  left,"  after  treating  your 
thousands  to  a  barbecue,  I  think  you  will  be  able  to  keep 
open  doors  for  the  reBt  ot  the  Fair  season.

were  funned  in  line  of  battle  under  the  c 
waitiug  orders.  About  noon,  a  terrific  cannonading  be- 
gan upon  our  whole  line.  For  some  time  this  was  kept 
up,  and  then,  with  ihe  exception  ol  here  and  there  a  gun, 
suddenly  ceased.  Our  men  then  moved  out  from  the 
woods,  nnd  no  sooner  was  this  done  than  immediately 
the  works  about  Port  Hudson  poured  forth  a  terrible 
storm  of  grape  and  canister,  and  all  imaginable  missiles 
— and,  I  might  say,  all  unimaginable — mingled  with  the 
deiitli-d^iling  rifle-shot?.  Ureat  pains  had  evidently  been 
taken  by  the  enemy  to  make  our  approach  as  difficult  as 
possible.  Trees  had  been  felled,  and  the  thick  brush 
left  like  successive  hedges.  The  ground  itaeLf  was  uneven 
and  broken,  so  that  the  line  ct battle  was  soon  lost,  and 
oiU"  men  moved  forw.iri]  as  they  I ie>t  could.  The  fire  of 
the  enemy  was  thick  and  fait,  and  fearfully  effective.  It- 
was  a  short  and  derisive  matter  with  us.  We  failed.  In 
the  literal,  as  well  as  in  the  moral  battle,  we  may  use 
Carlyle's  words :  "  We  rise  by  a  succession  of  falls." 

At  this  time,  our  much  beloved  and  much  lamented 
Brigadier-General,  Col.  E.  P.  Chapin,  of  the  116th  New 
York,  fell  :  and  several  other  brave  and  accomplished  of- 
ficers. Our  men  took  such  shelter  as  they  could  find,  he- 
hind   trees   and   stumps,  and  waited   the  waning  of  the 

We  had  the  good  fortune  to  have,  as  a  medical  Direc- 
tor, an  energetic  ami  experienced  surgeon,  one  who  had 
seen  much  service  on  the  Potomac,  and  knew  both  what 
was  wanted  and  where  to  get  it.  He  had  anticipated  the 
sad  necessities  of  thencca^'iou,  and  provided  fur  them,  as 
far  as  it  was  possible.  Our  first  station  wasahouta  third 
of  a  mile  from  the  battle-field,  in  the  woods,  and  our 
Field  Hospital  was  about  one  mile  to  the  rear.  The 
wounded  were  now  brought  in  by  ambulances,  and 
placed  upon  cotton  in  the  shade  of  the  trees.  Every- 
thing was  conducted  in  tin-  m<>si  quiet  and  orderly  man- 
ner. It  wns  a  matter  of  surprise  to  me  that  among  hun- 
dreds of  wounded,  suffering  men  lying  there,  it  was  so 
still.  Though  constantly  parsing  around  among  them, 
with  cooling  drinks,  and  soup,  and  water  with  which  to 
wet  their  bandages,  I  did  not  hear  a  single  regret  or

as  much  iced  water,  coffee,  claret,  and  soup  asthev  could 
take.  There  was  scanty  covering  during  the  night,  it  is 
true,  for  the  poor  men,  exhausted  with  the  loss  of  blood, 
and  occasionally  some  one  complained  of  the  cold. 
But  every  means  possible  under  the  circumstances  was 
devised  for  their  comfort. 

Richly  do  these  men  deserve  all  that  you  can  do  for 
them  ;  so  brave  in  battle,  so  patient  in  suffering.  If  bat-

those  of  the  Sanitary  Commission  on  the  Mississippi. 
Their  system  is  most  excellent.  May  the  support  it  finds

ent  to  crowd  the  building  alni">i  us  much  as  on  previous 
days,  while  the  nigh.1  presented  the  usual  scene  of  bril- 
liant gaiety. 

\W  yesterday  alluded  ai    some  length    to  the  features 
of   tin1    Museum,  hut    overlooked    an    intercstimr  article 

building.  It  is  a  model  of  a  pontoon  train,  with  all  the 
apparatus,  very  neatly  made,  and  presented  to  tho  Fair 
through  Mrs.  M.  P.  Odcll,  by  the  officers  of  the  Fiftieth 
Regiment   New    York    Engineers,    Brig.-Gen.    Benham

f  the  Fair  are  to  be  found  neither 


torium  of  tho  Academy  of  Music.  They  consist  of  a 
series  of  admirable  j.:unl  hill's  <  'ii  subjects  token  from  tho 
NVw  Testament.  The  two  large  paintings  are  the  work 
of  Henry  De  Pondt,  under  the  supervision  of  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  Academy  of  Arts  at  Antwerp,  whoso  pupil 

being  the  first  ones  executed  and  sold  on  his  own  ac- 
count, De  Pondt  having  (hen— in  |N(iU — just  attained 
his  majority.  The  smaller  picture  of  "  Christ  on  his  way 
to  Emraaus"  was  painted  by  Charles  Fein,  of  Antwerp,  a 


that  city.  This  artist  Felu 
may  be  seen  any  day  in  the  great  art  gallery  of  Antwerp, 
busily  copying  the  works  of  Rubens,  Van  Dyck  and  tho 
other  great  masters  for  which  this  collection  U  famous; 
fully    equal    in  merit   those  by   copy-

tween  the  big  toe  and  that  next  to  it,  and 
grnsping    his      palette      with      his      other     foot.     Ho 

wears  stockings  which  nnly  cover  half  the  foot,  leaving 
the  toes  exposed  as  mittens  do  the  fingers.  He  has  no 
arms,  and  walks  on  the  fee!  with  which  he  pain tB  so 
beautifully,  though,  as  may  readily  be  supposed,  liis  pe- 
destrian exercise  is  very  limited,  it  being  requisite  to 
take  as  much  care  of  his  feet  as  other  artists  do  of  their 
hands.  Felu  is  a  quiet,  gentlemanly  man,  and  is  much 
liked  by  his  fellow-artists. 

Other  pictures  of  this  collection  are  "Saint  Chrysostom 
and  thejlnfant  Jesus,"  "  Simeon  in  the  Temple,"  and  "The 
Meeting  of  Elizabeth  and  Mary."  All  these  rare  works 
of  art,  principally  copies  from  Rubens,  and  valued  at 
three  thousand  dollars,  are  the  gift  of  Mr.  Tatham. 

From  these  pictures  it  is  easy  enough  to  go  to  the 
Art  Gallery,  to  which  we  have  already  alluded,  as  the 
finest  and  most  valuable  exhibition  of  the  kind  ever 
offered  to  the  gaze  ot  the  Brooklyn  public,  including  as 
it  does  so  many  works  which  have  already  received  the 
verdict  i>f  arti-tic  ami  popular  favor. 

The  Sanitary  Fair  is  indebted,  for  this  fine  Exhibition, 
first  to  the  Artists  and  owners  who  so  kindly  loaned 
their  pictures  to  the  cause  ;  and  secondly,  fo  the  indefati- 
'gable  Art  Committer  of  the  Fair,  consisting  of  Messrs. 
R.  W.  Hubbard,  John  Williamson,  N.  B.  Kittell,  J.  H- 
Parker,  Jr.,  and  Henry  Ward  Beecher,  with  Samuel  P. 
Avery  as  Secretary,  and  Regis  Gignoux  as  Chairman. 

The  collection  includes  very  many  interesting  picture, 
but  we  shall  attempt   only  to  mention  a  few  of  the  moro

To  leave  art  and  literature  and  turn  to  the  more  ma- 
terial delights  of  the  cuisine,  we  would  remind  our  read- 
ers that  to-night  will  occur  the  culminating  event  of  the 
is  far  as  the  New  England  Kitchen  is  concerned — 
,  the  great  old-fashioned  Wedding,  for  which  such 
preparations  have  been  made.  We  are  informed  that  on

lore  interesting  from  being  heirlooms  handed 
down  "from  one  generation  unto  another,"  Some  of  the 
dresses  to  be  worn  are  really  superb  ;  and  iu  view  ol  these

night   the   Kitchen  was  the   scene   of  a  vei 

"  apple  pairing  ;"  and  [yesterday  more  people  ate  dinner 

than  on  any  preceding  day  of  the  Fair. 

The  ladies  who  form  the  Womans'  Relief  Association 
wish  us  to  say  an  additional  word  in  b.half  of  their  most 
worthy  enterprise  ;  and,  while  we  are  glad  to  use  what  in" 
lluence  the  Drum-Beat  may  possess  in  so  noble  a  cause,  we 
feel  that  we  cannot  exert  it  betterthan  by  publishing  the 
following  communication,  which  supplies  a  "  missing 
link"  in  the  History  of  the  Fair : 

Mr.  Emron:   Your  re.ekrs  «<  .iv  doubtless    interested  in 

the  sketch  of  the  rise  and  progress  of  the   Fair,  published 

In  Saturday's  issue   of  your  popular  little  paper.    It  was 

mainly  correct,  but  it  h  ,*  been  H^g^u-.l  that  the  ladies  of 

the  Woman's   Relief  Association   did  not  receive  full  credit 

:onceptionoftbeideaof  the  Fair.     We  would  not 

honor  due  to  the  gentlemen  of 

who  so  nobly  responded  to  the 


call  of  the  ladies,  mid  so  ircncrou-h  pledged  their  assistance; 
but  it  should  be  known  that  the  idea  of  a  Fair  originated 
with  and  proceeded  from  the  ladies  ol  our  Society,  and  was 
lin-t  suggested  at  the  Depot,  :>u  Court  street.  By  reference 
to  the  Minutes  of  the  As-oeiation,  it  wil]  be  found  that  at 
tlie  regular  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Managers  on  Friday, 
Nov.  Ctb,  the  need  of  a  special  effort  for  raising  funds  lor 
the  Sanitary  Commission  was  considered,  and  a  Fair  was 
suggested  as  the  most  feasible  plan. 

It  had  been  determined  to  call  a  special  meeting  for  the 
purpose  of  discussing  the  subject,  and  the  day  was  appoint- 
ed for  it,  when  the  news  came  that  our  plan  had  beeu  di- 
vulged, and  that  a  great  Metropolitan  Fair  bad  been  pro- 
jected in  New  York. 

After  some  deliberation,  it  w:!P  determined  to  have  a  di- 
vision of  this  Fair  in  Brooklyn  ;  aud  a  special  meeting  of 
Monday,  Nov.  30tb, 
;etingofthe  ladies  of 
vngcmenK  Circulars  were  issued  to 
this  effect,  and  the  Packer  Chapel  was  well  filled  on  Friday, 
Dec.  4th,  and  an  enthusiastic  meeting  was  held,  at  which 
several  resolutions  were  passed,  one  of  which    was  the  fol- 


Futid  Committee   be  requested  t 


Jteiolved,  That  the  \ 
appoint  an  Advisory  C 
assist  us  in  carrying  out  the  object  and  plan  of  the  Fair. 

On  the  following  evening  the  meeting  of  [gentlemen  waB 
held,  whose  action  was  recorded  in  your  statement.  Subse- 
quently, the  time  oi  the  New  York  Fair  was  changed  from 
February  22d  to  March  28th,  and  the  ladies  of  Brooklyn 
withdrew,  and  decided  to  have  a  Fair  of  their  own.  An 
Executive  Committee  of  ladies  was  appointed,  with  our 
honored  President  at  its  head,  to  whose  unwearied  devotion 
of  time  and  thought  so  muchol  the  wonderful  success  of  the 
Fair  is  owin 


of  on,-  mauler,-,  with  ullier  inthicnlial  ladies  of  our  city. 

From  this  Committee  have  been  chosen  the  Chairwomen 
of  the  various  Sub-Committees,  whose  diligent  labors  in 
the  prosecution  of  their  work  arc  attested  by  the  well-tilled 
tables  and  bnudsome  appointments  of  the  halls  of  the  Fair. 

Nor  will  the  labors  ot  this  Association  be  ended  with  the 
closing  of  the  Fair. 

Shirts,  socks,  and  hospital  stores,  are  to  be  made  tor  the 
brave  men  for  whom  we  are  laboring;  and  this  work  will 
fall  upon  the  Woman's  Relief  Association,  whose  energies 
will  still  he  taxed,  aud  whose  labors  will  notecase,  till  peace 
i:-  restored  to  our  bcluv.d    land,    and  tk?  1,,-t   sufferer  is  iv-

eraly  hope  that  my  answer  to  your  kind  com- 
if  Dec.  28th  may  not  arrive  too  late.  I  per 
celve  that  the  Brooklyn  Fair  opens  on  the  22d  of  Feb- 
ruary, yet  I  am  writing  by  the  first  post  for  Liverpool 
since  the  receipt  of  your  letter.  Had  there  been  time, 
it  would  have  given  me  much  pleasure  to  send  some 
little  articles  peculii 

Fair,  as  I  have  already  been  most  happy 
exhibitions  in  Boston,  New  York,  and  other  places.  But, 
alas,  in  this  omission  I  must  beg  you  to  take  the  will  Eo 
the  deed,  as  the  late  hour  at  which  your  letter  reachei 
me  renders  any  such  attempt  hopeless. 

otliing  certainly  can  be  more  sacred  than  the  claim 
'"-  wounded  and  suffering  soldiers  upon  their  cbuu

inexampled  warfare  us  this,  who  have  voluntarily  been 
rising  their  lives  that  their  country  may 
exist  among  the  nations,  have  laid  their  fei 
under  a  debt  of  gratitude  which  can  never  be  adequately

For  this  is  a  war  altogether  wi 

There  have  been  wars  for  ambi 
ts.  for  defence  against  a  foreign 
against  mi* ih-rnble  oppression.  But  it  was  reserved  for 
the  latter  part  of  ilii-  nineteenth  century  nf  the  Christian 
witness  a  revolt,  not  against  a  foreigu  despot,  but 
against  the  mo-l  reasonable  and  liberal  form  of  Constitu- 
tional Government  ever  known  to  mankind — a  rebellion 
the  oppressed,  but  of  the  oppressors— an  insurroc- 
iK-half  not. Df  Liberty,  but  of  Slavery, 
until  Vv"F&ig  becomes  Right,  Darkness  becomes 
Sunshine,  and  Truth  becomes  a  Liar,  can  a  new  political 
system,  with  perpetual  African  Slavery  for  its  corner- 
stone, succeed  in  establishing  itself  upon  the  ruins  of  our 
noble  Republic. 

I  remain,  with  the  deepest  respect.

A  CONVERSATION. 

I  went  one  morning  early  into  my  son's  room,  who 
had  been  brought  home  a  lew  days  before  very  serious- 
ly wounded,  from  the  battle  of ;  and  found  him 

somewhat  brightened  by  a  good  long  sleep,  and  disposed 
to  talk.  Alter  I  had  opened  the  shutters,  to  let  in  the 
first  beams  of  the  rising  sun,  and  dismissed  his  attendant 
to  take  some  sleep,  he  said — "Come,  father,  draw  up  a 
chair  beside  me,  give  me  your  hand,  and  repeat  me  one 
of  the  Psalms." 

I  gladly  prepared  to  do  as  he  bade  me,  asking  him  i! 
there  was  any  Bpecial  Psalm  he  would  like  me  to  recall, 
or  whether  he  would  trust  to  my  selection  ?— "Oh,  no  1" 
he  replied,  "only  a  verse  or  two  of  scripture  here  and 
there  stick  to  my  memory,  and  I  never  rightly  know 
whether  thoy  belong  to  the  Old  or  New  Testament.  All 
I  know  is  that,  such  as  they  are,  they  almost  kept  me 
alive  as  I  lay  silently  recalling  and  repeating  tl 
myself  for  the  two  week3  after  I  was  wounded,  and  be- 
fore I  got  home  ;  and  I  feel  this  morning  as  if  I  Bb 
like  to  hear  you  recite  a  Psalm  to  me.  Take  any 
yourself  please." 

Very  well,  said   I ;  I  will  commence  with  one  which 
has  been  very  much  on  my  mind  since  you  were  brought 
home  ;  and  I  repeated  the  beautiful  Twenty-third  Psalm 
Now,  said  I,  after  [  had  finished,  I  will  tell  you  why  this 
Bsqui -it"  Psalm  has  so  often  recurred  to  me  since 
arrival.     It  is  simply  because  you  were  brought 
and  laid  at  my  door  with  such  a  womanly  tenderness  and 
core,  that  even  the  heart  of  your  own  mother  could 
asked  nothing  more,  and  it  seemed  to  me  nothing  short 
of  miraculous  !     We  dad  mily  heard  of  your  wounds 
days  before  ;  and  heard  of  them  moreover  as  doing  i 
when  lo!  a  telegram  from  New  York,  telling  us  thai 
ship  had  arrived,  and  you  would  be  with  us  before  n 
ing.     And  there    at    last    you  were  at  the  wharf, ; 
every  motion  guarded,  your  every  want  anticipated,  hy 
a  dear  and  noble  friend,  whose  own  heart  was  wrung 
tiiat  very  moment  by  a  hopeless  anguish,  and  yet   had 
power  to  conceal  its  own  wound,  bo  long  as  the  c 
held  out  of  soothing  another's !     Then,  indeed,  I  shouted 
inwardly  to  myself:  the   Lord    w    my  Shepherd, 
shall  be  the  silliest  of  silly  sheep  if  I  ever  again  distrust 
Him  1  If  I  had  had  a  clear  foresight  of  your  disaster,  ai 
the  amplest  control  of  means  to  get  you  home  in  safety 
and  comfort,  I  could  never  have  invented  any  machinery 
half  so  tender  and  expeditious.    Now  I  want  you  to 


member,  what  I  shall  t; 

namely:  that  what  thU  In-aiitiiul    Psalm  says  about  the 

being  our  Shepherd,  i-  nolhimr  but  the  literal  and 

truth  ;  and  that  we  all,  in  spite    of 'our    seeming 

sell-sulhcieney  aud  abandonment  to  our  own  providence, 

precisely  as  dependent  "veiy  moment    upon  His  care 

oversight,  as  any  stupid  sheep  is  dependent,   upon  its 

shepherd.     We,  to  be  sure,  are  full  of  conceit,  which  the 

sheep  is  not,  and  learn  our  appointed   lesson  therefore 

with  difficulty.     But  we  do  learn  it,  full  surely,  at  last : 

and  then  we  come  into  a  fellowship  so  rich  and  iniimatt 


ill  easy  enough,  what  you  say,"  replied  my 
mer,  "lying  here  as  I  do,  with  my  band  in 
i  cheerful  sun  streaming  in  at  the  windows. 


After  I  had  crawled  t 


I  found  myself  lying  undressed  in  my 
tent  upon  the  sand,  and  stiff  with  pain.  Everything 
was  still;  alight  was  burning  dimly;  but  I  Beemed  to 
he  all  alone,  and  suddenly  the  thought,  struck  mo  that  I 
had  been  deserted,  and  left  to  die  ns  I  might  1  O  how 
this  dear  old  home  beckoned  to  me  at  that  moment,  when 
I  thought  I  was  never  going  to  see  it  again  1  I  suppose 
I  groaned  in  despair,  aB  I  evidently  aroused  some  one 
beside  me,  whom  I  had  not  before  noticed,  and  who  pro- 
bably had  not  been  himself  aware  till    that  moment  of 

my  vicinity.    He  was  an  officer  of  a regiment, 

with  his  face  half  shot  off,  and  as  soon  as  he  saw  mo  so 
near  him,  and  able  perhaps  to  give  him  a  word  of  fellow- 
ship, he  began  crawling  towards  me,  and  didn't  stop  till 
he  got  his  poor  bewildered  head  buried  in  my  unresisting 
bosom.  Ah  1  that  moment  the  cup  of  my  ngony  ran 
over  ;  and  I  tell  you  it  was  as  much  as  I  could  do,  even 
to  hold  on  to  the  truth  of  the  Divine  existence." 

No  doubt!  no    doubt!    my  poor* boy  1  I  cried.     Even 
such— and  more  dismal— depths  .>f  Divine  despair  is  this 

returning  peace  is  going  to  build  up  out  of  these  very 
depths,  a  public  manhood  unknown  to  ub  before:  a  man- 
hood which,  disdainie;:  lieneeim-i.li  tin-  vile  hues  of  viler 
politicians,  and  freely  washing  its  own  skirts  clear  of  the 
blood  of  the  innocent,  will  be  sure  to  endue  itself  ere- 
long with  all  the  splendors  of  God'B  power  and  good- 
ness, and  overspread  the  whole  earth  at  last  with  the 
white  tents  of  His  righteousness  and  peace.  X.  X. 


MY  EXPERM-r.M  ■!■:  <  >K    THE  CHEAT   FAIR. 


Susan's  patience  and  my  correspondence  wero  ex- 
hausted fortunately  at  the  same  moment,  and  we  con- 
tinued our  perilous  passage  i'uvanN  Knickerbocker  Hall. 
At  the  gate  leading  from  the  Academy  into  that  paradise, 


liceman,  who  said  there  were  so  many  people  tryiug  to 
get  in,  that  he  was  obliged,  for  impartiality's  sake,  to 
keep  them  all  out.  I  addressed  him  in  vain  with  wit, 
pathos,  eloquence,  and  money.  At  last  Susan,  with 
great  presence  of  mind,  fainted.  This  did  the  business. 
The  police  and  the  palisade  yielded  at  once,  and  I  was 
ushered  into  the  Hall  with  my  unconscious  darlimr  i» 
my  arms.     Susan  has  a   good  constitution.     She  resem-

bles,  in  that,  the  United  States  of  America.  The  odor 
of  the  evergreens,  therefore,  revived  her  immediately  ; 
and  she  showed,  by  her  first  words,  that  her  intelligence 
had  completely  returned.  Like  any  well-regulated  pei- 
eon  just  coming  out  of  n  swoon,  she  first  exclaimed, 
"Where  am  IV  and  without  waiting  for  a  reply,  con- 
tinued, "  I  think  roast  quail  will  do  to  begin  on,  my 
dearl" 

With  sonic  difficulty  u  e  procured  seats  in  the  gallery, 
and  looked  about  I'm'  n  waiter.  It  soon  became  evident 
that  wo  were  to  do  most  of  the  waiting,  ourselves.  It 
was  the  first  day  «>f  the  Fair,  ami  the  corps  of  attendants 
had  gone,  I  suppose,  to  gaze  at  the  beauties  of  the  Acad- 
emy. At  least  there  were  plenty  of  whitecravated  per- 
sons in  the  Auditorium— but  perhaps  they  were  clergy- 
men,    It  is  not  strange  that   those   who  minister  to  the 

body,  should  wear  the  some  symbolic  cravat,  signifying 
by  what  pure  and  spotless  ties  tbey  are  connected  with 
their  fellow-men. 

I  was  extending  my  remarks  to  Susan  in  this  very 
strain,  when  she  made  a  sudden  dive  into  the  crowd, 
and  fished  out  a  young   man  with  a  tray  under  his  arm.

Hashed    potatoes,  and    napkins,    and    coffee,    and    ice-

i  with  a  tray,  obviated  the   necessity

"  Nein  I"  was  the  crushing  reply,  "nix  mehr.  Not  any  !" 
"  Disgrace  to  the  Fatherland  I"  I  said,  in  stately  wrath  ; 
"wherefore  this  beef-steak,  when  other  viands  were  be- 
spoke?" "Vo  always  prings  Pifstek,  mit  Pret.  Man 
hat  everyding  else  up-dated  ;"  and  away  he  went,  to  take 
the  order  of  an  eminent  citizen,  who  asked  for  Green 
Turtle,  a 
steak.    1 


nig  soldiers  were  often  obliged  to  be  martyrs  without  so 
much  as  a  steak,  even,  we  swallowed  our  indignation 
with  the  savory  food,  and  washed  our  throats  with  the 
Ridgewood  water,  which  is  not  intoxicating  in  small 
quantities.  By  the  time  we  were  through  dinner,  the 
stock  of  lSoefrte.uk  was  exhausted,  the  waiters  had  struck 
for  higher  wages,  and  the  Restaurant  was  obliged  to  pause 
in  ita  successful  voyage,  and  lie-to,  under  close-reefed 
topsails,  to  repair  damages.  Since  then,  I  am  told,  it 
has  been  running  under  steam,  night  and  day  ;  and  has

withdrew  voluntarily  from  a  great  career.  It  is  the

After  the  battle  of  Chancellorsville,  it  is  well-known

they  ifo  do  something  oi  that  kind,  but  how's  a  body  to 
find  the  place  '!"  Just  then  I  happened  to  be  passing, 
and  having  some  of  the  Sanitary  Commission  cards  in 
my  pocket,  giving  all  the  needed  information  to  soldiers 
arriving  in  Washington,  I  distributed  some  among  them.

"  But  who  3s  Dick  Cuff?" 

It  argues  great  ignorance  of  the  United  States  colored 
nice  in  general,  and  of  n.y  Lieutenant's   regiment   in 
particular,  if  you  have  never  heard  of  this  celebrity— 
the  wag  of  Company  F,  Second  Begiment  U.  S.  C.T., 
now  at  Ship  Island.    When  the  regiment  was  reviewed 
Camp  Casey  by  our  illustrious  townsman,  in  honor  of 
10m  its  camp  was  named,  Dick,  unable  to  contain  his 
mder  and  joy  at  the  spectacle  of  the  Commander-in- 
Chief  (as  he  supposed)  and   his   suite,  rushed  up  to  his 
Lieutenant,  and  pointing  to  General  C,  exclaimed  ;  "Am 
dat  de  Biff  Bosh  ob  de  whole  army?" 

Oh,  no,"  said  the  Lieutenant,  "that  is  General 
Casey." 

"  Well,  him  so  gorry  fine,   I  sposed   him   was  de  big 

Ship  Island  experiences  do  not  suit  Dick  quite  so  well 
as  the  vicinity  of  Washington.  One  day  he  came  to  his 
Lieutenant  with  a  grave  face,  saying: 

"  Since  we  been  on  dis  'ere  island  I've  done  nutBn  but 
drill  in  de  sand,  sleep  on  de  sand,  and  eat  de  sand  ;  and  I 
don't  tint  it  am  good  for  de  system." 

But  .Dick  has  had  a  'sperience,  and  that  was  what  I 
began  lotellabont.     His  Lb  utenaiit  writes; 

"  Dick  Cuff  has  been  frar,  and  has  got  a  'sperience. 
Last  night  the 'Christian  Church,' as  the  good  darkies 
call  thcm-elves,  held  a  meeting,  aud  they  were  all  at 
work  upon  one  man,  getting  him  frew.  They  laid  him 
out  on  a  stretcher,  and  then  surrounded  him,  praying, 


shouting,  and  clapping  tin  ir  1

not  be  suspected  that  some  Christians  in  more  enlight-

Mr.  Editor  :  I  am  happy  to  hear  that  your  Fair  is  a  com-

your  good  people  (not  native  Bostonians  by  any  means  I) 
who  were  in  attendance  upon  the  Fair  in  Boston  Music 
Hall,  claim  that  your  display  exceeds  thru.  I  I  wish  for  the 
sake  of  the  Sanitary  Commission  it  were  true,  which  wish 
you  will  probably  consider  a  remarkable  triumph  of  patriot-

OUR  DAILY  RECORD. 
Another  day  of  magnificent  weather,  just   too   cold  to 
ho  deemed  anndvouc"  pieket  of  spring  and  just  too  warm 
to  he  attributed  to  the  retreating  winter,  added  its  attrac- 
tions to  thoso  of  the  Fair,  and,  as  a  natural  result,  the  build- 
ings were  crowded  to  excess.     Every  portion  of  the  Fair 
was  liberally  putmni.-ed,  and  the   sales  were  as  active  as 
any  day  shier  the  exhibition  was  npened  totlie  public. 
We  yesterday  took  occasion  to    record  ft  few  meiunnin- 
.  of  the  Art  Gallery,  and   before   definitely  quitting  this 
auch  ot  the  Fair  would   allude   to   other  art  features, 
nong  these  is  a  rare   volume  sent   by   a  gcntleniau  in 
England,  and  entitled  "  The  Art  Treasures  of  the  United 
Kingdom,"    and     containing    the     series    of    chromo- 
lithographs of  the  Art  Treasures  in   the  Manchester  Ex-

Ikon  OiiNAurcvr.-.— An  accident   led  to  the 
production  of  the  far-famed  Berlin  irou  castings.     During 
first  Napoleon  the  Prussian  treasury  be- 
ei.iuiiu:  exhausted,  an   appeal  was   made  to  the  people  to 
■d   the  expenses  of  the  country,  and  the 
and  poor  contributed   with   true  patriotic  feeling— 
merely  money  but  gold  and  silver  ornaments.    To 
jiirage  tlii?.  UwiS  determined  that   every  ono  who 
gave  up  gold  ornaments-    lor  the  national    cause,  should 
iron  one,  in  the  shape  of  a   cross,  instead*  in- 
fo, the  words—"  I  give  gold   for  iron."    These 
irou  require  chains  of  iron  to   suspend  them. 
They  were  made ;  and  the  attempts  of  one  manufacturer 
to  rival  another  led  to  the   production  of  those  beautiful 
chains,  bracelets,  and   other   articles   or  iron,  which  are 
alike  remarkable  for  the  delicacy  of  their 
and  tie-  eleganee  of  their  design. 

Troubles  of  Telegraphers  in    Ikdia— The 

grapbers  in   India  raako  great  complaints,  not  onlj 
the   rebels   cut   the  wires,  but  that  the   elephants  and 
other  animals  rub  against  the  posts  and  prostrate  them, 
while  tbe  monkeys,  under  a  complete   misapprehension 
of  the  objects  of  the  telegraph  system,  delight  to  use  the 
wire  for  athletic  sports  and  pastimes,     Mr.  Russell  eays  : 
"  I  have  seen  half  a  dozen  great  monkeys  or  baboon; 
at  work  on   one  feeble   stretch   of  wire,  posturing,  grin- 
ning  and   chattering  away  in  the  highest  spirits— sorm 
walking  topsy-turvy  along  it,  others  tugging  it  up  and 
down  with  main  force,  considerably  increased  by  the  cir- 
cumstance that  other  monkeys  were  bunging  on  by  t 
taile,  and  others  striving   to  detach  the  wire  from 
posts,  so  as  so  give  their  friends  a  sudden  fall  :  while 
eat  the  base  of  the  posts  away ;  sudden  gusts  of  ' 


by  the  study  of  tho  finest  paintings,  both  native 
and  foreign,  existing  in  the  country.  The  idea 
of  an  album,  containing  copies  of  the  more 
notable  pictures  in  ibis  admirable  collection,  was  most 
happy  ;  and  it  is  to  be  regretted  that,  some  similar  souve- 
nir cannot  bo  formed  of  the  collection  loaned  by  our  art- 
ists to  tbe  Brooklyn  and  Long  Island  Sanitary  Fair.  A 
series  of  good  photographic  copii'«  of  the  more  admired 
gems  of  this  gallery  could  not  fail  to  sell  largely,  and 
ter  to  remind  the  purchaser  of  the  pittiiotic  liber- 
ality of  American  artists  and  picture-owners,  and  of  tho 
oble  occasion  which  called  it  forth.  It  would,  moreover, 
a  very  pleasant,  as  a  mere  aesthetic  luxury,  to  haveeveu

have  received  a  communication  thereupon.  Tho 
writer,  a  manly,  bright  eyed  little  fellow  of  fourteen,  dis- 
rvers,  he  thinks,  a  mistake  in  the  Picture  Gallery,  and 
rites  in  this  wise  his  rritiq».'  <m  tho  celebrated  French 

Mr.  Editor:  "  Many  persim?,  who  hove  visited  the  Pie- 
rre Gallery  at  the  Great  Fair,  have  noticed  one  painting 
called  in  the  catalogue"  The  Indolent  Scholar."  The 
artist  has  cither  made  a  great  mistake,  or  the  man  who 
printed  the  catalogue  has  made  a  misnomer.  The  paint- 
mresents  a  young  lad,  looking  as  though  he  had 
itudying  ever  since  ho  was  horn,  and  had  just  stop- 
ped a  moment  to  rest.  His  pale  face,  his  long  and  bony 
hands,  and  emaciated  form,  all  indicate  bis  Btudious 
habits.  Now  it  appears  to  me,  if  I  were  going  to  paint 
a  lazy,  good-for-nothing  fellow,  I  should  make  a  fat, 
healthy,  Btrong,  and  lubberly  chap,  ono  that  you  could 
easily  perceive  liked  anything  better  than  bis  hooks.  For 
you  generally  will  find  that  drones  at  school  ore  fat  and 
healthy,  while  studious  boys  are  thin  and  sickly.  If, 
therefore,  the  name  should  be  changed  from  the  "  Indo- 
lent Scholar"  to  "  The  Studious  Scholar,"  I  thiuk  the 
artist  would  have  as  good  a  picture  of  an  overworked 
boy  as  could  possibly  be  given." 

Mr.  Grey  has  designed  for  the  Fair  a  spirited  vignette, 
intended  as  a  certificate  to  be  given  to  the  various  con- 
tributors, for  five  dollars  each.  It  has  been  lithographed, 
and  represents  in  the  foreground  a  wounded  soldier  at-

over  fourteen  hundred  dollars. 

Near  the  Post  Office— which  by  the  way  counted  yes- 
terday seven  hundred  dollars  cf  profits— is  the  table  sup- 
plied by  St.  Ann's  Church,  contaiuing  a  large  variety  of 
Fancy  Goods,  some  of  which  arrived  from  Europe  only  a 
day  or  two  ago  by  the  Kangaroo.  For  this  table  was 
impcrted  from  Paris  direct  a  large  invoice  of  fancy  goods, 
costing  $1,500,  which  sold  at  the  Fair  at  a  large  advance. 
The  duties  on  this  invoice  were  remitted  ;  and,  in  this 
connection,  a  word  of  praise  is  due  to  Mr.  Charles  L.  Doe, 
who  went  to  Washington  for  Mr.  McLean,  and  through 
his  exertions  and  representations  secured  a  remission  of 
duties  on  all  goods  imported  for  the  Fair. 

The  quiet  little  corners  and  nooks  of  the  lobbies  of  the 

tions,"  all  working,  in  the  end,  for  the  good  of  the  cause. 
In  one  of  these  nooks  the  Greenpoint  Glass  Works  have 
a  very  elegant  display  n,'  fm-ly-eut  glassware  of  the  raoBt 
deli,  nte  and  exquisite  patterns,  all  to  be  sold  for  the  bene- 
fit of  the  Fair. 

In  another  nook  is  the  Fish  Pond,  where  for  twenty- 
five  cents  you  may  lower  a  hook  and  line,  and  fish  np  a 
little  package,  sure  to  contain  sometliing  of  interest  to 
young  folks  ;  while  in  still  another  nook  can  be  seen,  for 
a  fee  of  ten  cents,  the  Skating  Pond,  a  very  charming 
and  ingenious  thing  arranged  by  Mrs.  Edward  Anthony, 
and  the  next  best  thing  to  a  real  skating  evening  in  the 
Park.  This  beautiful  little  representation  of  a  v.st 
skating  pond,  with  its  moving  figures  and  its  i  r-ofi 
vistas  of  healthful  delight  and  frolic,  should  not  b  pass- 
ed by  unseen  ;  especially  when  U  i:-  remembered  t  r.t  the 
Skating  Pond  has  already  gained  four  hundre  1  dollars

The  Knickerbocker  Hall  is  in  itself 
going  to  the  Fair  to  sec.  More  people  are  led  here  each 
day  than  in  any  half  dozen  of  the  largest  New  York  ho 
tels  put  together.  The  tables  arc  acce&Bible  to  the  public 
a    ait  nine  hours  of  the  day,  and  during  those  nine  hours 


nplete 


tain  here  their  food,  while 

skillful  superintendence  of  Mr.  Lowber,  are 

that  no  disappointment  or  confusion  occurs. 

The  hall  itself  did  not  involve  an  outlay  of 
fifty  dollars.  The  building  was  erected  gratuitously  by 
patriotic  mechanics,  with  lumber  given  for  the  purpose. 
The  decorations  were  furnished  by  the  Long  Island  Hor- 
ticultural Society  ;  and  the  stoves,  valued  at  five  hundred 
dollars,  presented  by  Truslow.  Sanford  &  Co.,  of  New 
York.  Crockery,  cooking  utensils,  and  ranges,  were  al 
contributed,  and  will  be  sold  off  at  the  close  of  the  Fair. 
About  seven-eighths  of  the  food  used  at  this  gigantic 
restaurant  has  been  given  by  individuals  and  church  or 
!  allotments  have  been  filled,  the  food 
is  wanted.  We  are  requested  to  ur- 
gently appeal  to  the  public  for  contributions,  especially  ot 
uncooked  poultry  of  all  kind-,  of  vegetables,  of  pies,  cake 
and  candy.  Of  the  latter  article  alone,  one  hundred  dol- 
rs  worth  has  to  be  bought  every  day. 
To  see  how  much  food  is  needed  at  the  Knickerbocker 
all,  it  is  well  just  to  recount  some  of  the  edible  powers 
of  the  many-mouthed,  omniverous  public.     Fifteen 

oysters  have  been  eaten  here  daily.     One  hundred 
turkeys    and    chickens    are  also    devoured  every  day. 
three  to  four  hundred  quarts 


milk  ;  six  to  seven 
e  barrels  of  coffee  : 


lump  sugar  for 
ns  of  daily  con- 
sumption in  Knickerbocker  Hall. 

The  Maizena  Department  is  a  notable  feature,— Mr. 
Duryea,  the  agent  for  it,  having  furnished  his  cooks  and 
cooking  apparatus,  and  daily 
turning  out  vast  quantities  of  cakes,  pastry,  ice-cream, 
and  other  delightful  relishes,  all  made  out  of  Indian  Corn 


Hiawatha  and  his  dusky  comrades 
r  thought  of.  It  is  hard  to  meet  the  demand  for 
2  articles,  and  Mr.  Duryea's  liberality  has  already

Tho  New  England  Kitchen  was  last  night  the  scene 
of  gaiety  unequalled  even  in  that  joyous  and  hilarious 
locality.     The  occasion  was  the  Wedding,  to  bo 

the  style  in  vogue  in  the  days 
wry  Auld  lang  syne. 


presented  for  this  occasion  b\  tie  ladies  of  the  Knicker 
bocker  Hall  to  the  Ladies  of  the  New  England  Kitchen. 
Other  re  I  re  sh  incuts  graced  the  well-spread  table. 

Although  the  price  of  admission  was  very  high — three 
dollars  a  ticket— the  room  was  crowded,  and  the  appear- 
ance of  the  ladies  dressed  in  their  antique  garb  created  a 
marked  sensation.  Old  silks,  old  satins,  old  laces, 
old  combs,  old  caps,  old  jewels,  and  old  dialect  added  to 
the  quaintness  of  the  company.  The  costumes  were  in 
all  cases  elaborate,  and  in  many  instances  very  beautiful 
— at  least  as  far  as  the  la-hion  nf  the  times  would  allow. 
Many  articles  of  clothing  worn  on  this  occasion  were  of 
undoubted  antiquity,  and  as  heir-looms  were  highly  val- 


The  bridal  party  entered  the  room  in  solemn  procession , 

ririle  a  number  of  their  guests— arrayed,  of  course,  in 

ucient  garb— sang  an  old  hymn,  full   of  quaint  fugue 

The   bride    and    bridegroom,  with   the 

their  place,  confronted 

Rev.  Mr.  Cuyler,  who  officiated,  and  in  unexaggeratcd 

most  amusing  Down  East  style,  proceeded  to  unite  in 

bonds   of  matrimony  "Jonathan   Sirnpkins,  Deacon 

and   Selectman  of  Marblehead,"  and  "  Mehitable  Jones, 

pinster,  of  the  t 

Me  assured    lb 


i that t 


narnage  state  had  existed 
ong  as  the  race  of  man  ;  urged  them  to  remember 
patriarch's  injunction  :  am]  finally  pronounced  them 
husband  and  wife.    A  general  congratulation  and  kissing 
then  ensued,  after  which  the  party  went  to  the  table  to 
partake  of  the  wedding-cake.      Dancing  followed,  and 
company  broke  up  with   lively  and   agreeable  im- 
pressions of  a  New  England  Wedding.      To  relieve  any 
gentleman  and  lady 
who  kindly  consented  to  act  the  bride  and  groom  were 
eady  man  and  wife. 

\t  the  Police  Headquarters  business  has  been  very 
sk.  On  Wednesday  over  four  hundred  dollars'  worth 
property  was  restored  to  persons  who  had  been  un- 
tunate  losers,  and  up  to  six  o'clock  last  evening 
(Thursday)  three  hundred  and  twenty-eight  dollars' 
worth  of  lost  property  was  restored.

The  present  is  the  last  regular  number  of  The  Drum- 
Beat.  An  extra  and  supplementary  number  may  be 
issued  nest  week,  after  the  Fair  has  been  finally  closed, 
to  complete  the  history  of  it,  and  to  put  upon  permanent 
record  some  documents  and  contributions,  of  special

ular Beries,  which  was  contemplated  at  the  beginning, 
and  for  which  advertisements  and  subscriptions  were 
solicited,  clones  with  to-day's  paper. 

The  Editor  would  fain  hope  that  some  of  his  readers 
will  look  back  with  pleasure  to  the  series  of  papers 
which  it  has  been  his  pleasant  duty  to  provide  for  them, 
and  will  even  regret  the  cessation  of  his  morning  calls. 
The  limits  of  his  paper  have  not  allowed  him  to  discuss 
very  elaborately  any  great  and  stirring  public  questions, 
oi  to  present— what  most  of  all  an  American  hungers 
fur,  in  these  critical  times— the  Latest  News, 
gross  and  the  Camps.  But  he  has  faithfully  i 
sist  and  advance  the  interests  of  The  Faik,  the  occur- 
rence of  which  alone  called  the  paper  into  existence;  and 
at  the  same  time  to  make  a  various,  readable,  and  enter- 
taining little  Bheet,  which  all  purchasers  should  be  glad 
to  obtain,  pleased  to  read,  and  happy  to  preserve.  And 
to  some  extent,  he  hopes  that  this  end  has  been  accom- 
plished. If  it  has  not,  it  has  certainly  not  been  for  want 
of  willingness  to  work,  on  his  part. 

Ab  this  is  his  first,  it  will  doubtless  also  be  his  last 
appearance,  as  the  Editor  of  a  daily  paper  in  Brooklyn 
and,  wliile  he  cannot  say 


he   envies  the  gentlemen

ones  of  his  many  correspondents— with  grateful  pride 
the  city  in  which  it  is  his  privilege  to  dwell,  and  wi 
perfect  unfailing  courage  of  hope  for  the  triumph  of  the

The  J?air,  now  drawing  toward  its  close,  will  mark  i 
era  in  the  history  of  Brooklyn,  wltfle,  in  its  results, 
will  be  of  permanent  and  incalculable  benefit  to  the  noble 
charity  it  was  designed  to  subserre.  If  it  had  dor 
nothing  else,  it  has  done  enough  to  miike  its  existence 
reason  lor  gratitude,  and  to  justify  all  the  labor,  timi 
and  money  expended  on  its  behalf,  through  the  influ- 
ence it  has  exerted  in  awakening  and  confi: 
public  spirit  throughout  the  city ;  iu  making  the  resi- 
dents along  oux  thronged  and  changing  streets  acquainted 
with  each  other,  and  confident  of  each  other's  sympathy 
and  help  in  a  great  public  enterprise;  in  rubbing  out 
the  lines  of  small  sectarian  and  partisan  distinctions ; 
and  in  uniting  and  cementing  together  our  most  intelli- 
gent and  spirited  fellow-citizens,  through  their  common 
zeal  for  the  work  that  has  engaged  them.  They  are 
thus  made  happier  and  stronger  for  the  present,  and  are 
prepared  to  act  more  efficiently  together,  in  other  public 
and  patriotic  enterprises,  in  years  to  come. 

It  is  not  an  inconsiderable  advantage,  either,  resulting 
from  The  Fair,  that   Brooklyn   has  been   made  known 
byittx 
city  of 
young 

place  among  the  foremost  of  our  great  and  prosperous 
American  towns.  It  is  not  a  mere  dormitory  for  New 
York  merchants  It  has  roots  of  its  own  ;  a  population 
who  love  and  honor,  and  are  proud  of  it ;  and  who  mean 
that  it  shall  be  thoroughly  furnished  with  all  that  is

promenade   lasted  from    2:30  A.  m.  till  daylight.     This 
ded  me  an  opportunity  for    concentrated  meditation, 
as  I  have  not  before  enjoyed  since  the  Drum-Beat

from  Walter  Watts,  oi  Salem 

Watts  they  allude  to;  thorewere  three  brothers  of  me. 
We  all  came  over  in  one  ship, and  then  dispersed.  That'8 
my  genealogy.  But  my  genius  is  entirely  independent 
of  ancestry.  Watts,  the  sacred  poet,  was  no  relation  of 
mine, — only  n  forerunner. 

7.  Thirty  letters,  from  the  heads  of  Lady  Committees, 
desire  to  know  whether  my  wife's  star-spangled  afghan 
is  at  the  Fair,  nnd  for  sale.  It  was  sold  by  subscription, 
and  "presented"  to  a  youngmoii  from  the  country. 

8.  A  lody  (the  wife  of  a  clergyman)  desires  to  know 
what  is  my  age  and  per.-omil  appearance,  and  where  I  at. 
tend  church.  I  am  twenty-six.  of  grave  and  thoughtful 
mien,  and  attend  church  where  the  lady  docs. 

9.  A  young  lady  desires  to  Uimw  how  old  I  am,  and 
how  I  look.  I  am  twenty-two,  very  dnsbing  in  general 
appearance,  with  raven  locks,  an  imperial  and  mous- 
tache.    My  eye  is  dark,  expressive,  and  tender. 

10.  Three  political  warriors  write  to  know  if  I  will  ac- 
cept tbe  command  of  the  Army  of  the  Potomac,  and,  if 
so,  in  what  respect  I  am  like  the  first  Napoleon.  lam 
like  the  first  Napoleon  iu  this  : — t tint  1  do  not  rommand 
the  Army  of  the  Potomac.  The  moment  I  take  com- 
mand the  similarity  ceases.  I  am  obliged  to  decline  the 
proposed  martyrdom,  for  this  and  other  reasons. 

11.  An  individual,  calling  himself  "Critic,"  attacks  my 

oiis,  and  intolerable,  In  a  postscript  he  asks  me  to  send 
him  No.  5,  as  be  wishes  to  have  the  series  complete.  I 
would  refer  him  to  Beadle's  Dime  Novels  for  the  kind  of 
literature  ho  is  seeking  in  vain  iu  the  Drum-Beat. 

12.  Five  aspirants  lor  the  Presidency  desire  my  ser- 
vices, and  offer  me  the  po-ition  oi  Secretory  of  the  Navy. 
This  is  worse  than  the  Potomac  command.  I  would  in- 
form these  gentlemen  that  I  aspire  to  the  Presidency 
myeelf ;  and  if  they  wish  office  under  me,  they  had  bet- 
tor apply  early.  The  position  of  Secretary  of  State  is 
already  given  to  Mrs.  Stranohan,  as  a  testimony  of  admi- 
ration for  her  administrative  powers. 

13.  Three  Unitarians  deny  tlmt  they  made  any  baby- 
houses  for  the  Fair.  1  have  cross-questioned  Susan,  and 
find  that  she  do-en  t  know  wluit  a  i  nitarian  is.  I  there- 
fore retract,  in  her  mane,  the  entire  baby -house  remark. 

14.  The  fact  that  1  resi .■m Me  so  many  great  men  (which 
is  indeed  very  creditable  to  them,)  has  called  out  a  com- 
munication from  the  Editor  ot  the  "  Dead-Beat,"  who 
■wishes  to  know  in  what  respect  I  resemble  him.  I  reply, 
without  hesitation  :  Wc  are  both  witty.  Also,  we  both 
know  the  line  where  wit 
begins.  I  am  suretbc  Editor  of  the  "  Dead-Beat"  knows 
this  line,  for  he  crosses  it  every  day. 
may  add.  is  not  so  e/rcat  as  he  seems 
half  the  words  he  uses  can  be  found 
dictionary. 

15.  Mr.  VallaudiglKLiu  de-iivs  w  know  in  what  way  I 
resemble  him.    Not  any.     In  this  I  a 
people  in  Ohio. 

1G.  The  Editor  of  the  Drum-Beat  writes  to  inquire  if 
1  will  give  him,  for  publiciiilon.  my  true  name.     I  do 
with  pleasure.     My  true  name  is 

Augustus  Watts.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. 

■  whatever  of  success  nnd  neeinluces  The  Drum  Beat

5  are  due  principally  to  the  many  correspondent- who 
have  voluntarily  supplied  tbe  Editor   with   tbe  communica- 
with  which  his  columns  have  been  largely  filled.    Al- 
nll  the  articles),   both  of  proso  and  of  poetry,  which 
appealed  in  these  columns,   have'  been  written  exprC;.- 
ly  for  them.    And  many  of  these  have  been   of  snch  rare 
and  excellent  merit  that  wc  are  not  surprised  to  learn  that  a 
publisher  already  designs  to  reproduce  them  in  a  permanent 
volume.    Especially  to  the  noble  women,  who  ore  conse- 
crated to  the  office  of  nurses  in  the  eoldiers'  hospitals,  from 
have  come  some  of  the  very  choicest  of  all  our  con-

THE  FAIR  POST  OFFICE. 
fore  the  Editor  leaves  his  chair,  and  ceases  to  speak 
through  the  leaden  lips  which  have  once  more  become 
;:>nn]iar  to  him,  he  cannot  retrain  from  giving 

unfeigned  admiration  to  the  ladies  who   have  had  in 
or  hands  the  administration   of  the  Fair   Post  Office 
That  some   letters  of  an  objectionable  character  should 
have  escaped  even    their    vigilant   supervision,  and  have 
been  an  occasion   of  annoyance  and  pain  to  those  wh 
thev  leached,  is  nothing  more    than   must  have  been 
per  ted.  where  four  or  five  thousand  letters  were  to  bo 
ceived  and   distributed,   and  the   whole   business  to 
done  with  great  promptness  and  rapidity.     So  burglai 
still  occur,  in  spite  of  the   police  ;  and  typographical 
rors    slip    uncorrected    thron-ii  the   hands  of  sharp-eyed 
printers  and  proof-readers.     So  the    shrewdest  merchant 
i-  sometimes  deceived,  and  the  mod    -skilful  artist  makes 
In  ie  and  there  a  hilse  and  a  disastrous  Btroke. 

But  in  general  the  letters — we  only  repeat  what  we 
have  observed,  and  what  very  many  have  spontaneously 
said  to  us— have  been  not  only  unobjectionable,  but  of  a 
very  unusually  high  order  of  merit,  in  respect  of  both 
thought  and  composition.  A  number  of  them  have  been 
already  published  in  our  columns,  and  many  others 
equally  good,  both  in  prose  and  in  poetry,  for  which  we 
have  not  been  able  to  make  room,  have  passed  under  our 
editorial  eyes.  Thoughtful,  graceful,  inspiriting,  charm- 
ing— there  are  many  of  these  letters  that  will  he  cher- 
ished as  long  by  the-...  who  have  received  them  as  if  they 
were  known  to  have  come  from  valued  and  beloved 
friends.  And  we  doubt  not  that  many  happy  hours,  In 
days  to  come,  and  many  good  deeds,  suggested  by  these 
letters,  will  he  hereafter  the  result  of  the  constant,  assid- 
uous, and  most  conscientious  exertions  of  Mrs.  Duffin  and 
the  ladies  her  colleagues  on  the  Post  Office  Committee. 

MARKED  ARTICLES. 

Some  of  the  marks  which  are  histened  on  the  blankets, 
shirts,  &c,  sent  to  the  Sai 
diers,  show  the  thought  and  feeling  at  h 
a  home-spun  blanket,  worn,  but  washed  as  clean  as  buow, 
was  piuned  a  bit  of  poper  which  said:  "This  blanket 
was  carried  by  Milly  Aldrich  (who  is  ninety-three  years 
old)  down  hill  and  up  hill,  one  and  a  half  miles,  to  he 
given  to  some  soldier." 

On  a  bed-quilt  was  pinned  a  card,  saying  :  "  My  son  is 
in  the  army.  Whoever  is  made  warm  by  this  quilt,  which 
I  have  worked  on  for  sis  days  and  most  all  of  six  nights, 
let  him  remember  his  own  Mother's  love." 

by  a  soldier  in  the  war  of  1812 — may  it  keep  some  sol- 
dier warm  iu  this  waragainstVTiaitors." 

On  a  pillow  was  written  :  "  This  pillow  belonged  to 
my  little  boy,  who  died  resting  on  it ;  it  is  a  precious 
treasure  to  me,  but  I  give  it  for  the  eoldiers."

the  office  of  Editor  originally  came,  and 
from  whom  he  has  never  failed  to  receive  whatever  of  aid 
and  counsel  he  has  asked,  he  must  also  present  his  salaam 
at  parting.  If  their  servant  had  been  worthier,  their  hearts 
might  have  been  happier ;  but  no  constitution  of  the  Commit-

but  still  known  ond  beloved  by  many  here— and  have  been

contain     a      letter      from      some     young      lady,      re- 
questing an  answer  from  the  receiver.     I  have  seen  a

by    the    excitement  of    getting  these  let- 
always   make  the  young  men   promise   to  an-

From  a  comparative  view  of  their  Crops  they  may  be 
averaged  as  follows -Indian  Corn  25  bushels— Wheat 

15— Rye  12— Oats  15  bushels  to  the  Acre. According 

to  their  acct3  from  lauds  highly  manured  they 
gL-t  m  of  the  first,— 25   of  the  2d  &  3d  and  u 
latter.— Their  gem-mi  mode  of  CV.i  ping  is— first  Indian 
Corn  upon  a  lay,  manured  in  the  hill,  half  a  ehovel  full 
Lu  each  hole— (some    scatter    the    dung    over  the  field

HOSPITAL  INTRODUCTIONS. 

A  lady  said  to  me,  the  other  day,  "  I  should  like 
much  to  visit  hospitals,  but  it  is  so  awkward  to  en 
ward  full  of  strangers.  What  do  you  say  when  you  first 
go  in!"  "I  generally  say  Good  morning  !  or  Good  after- 
noon !  as  the  case  may  be,  and  trust  to  luck  for  the  next 
suggestion."  But  I  am  aware  that  there  is  an  embarrass- 
ment in  this  first  effort,  which  becomes  very  painful  if 
pot  banished  at  once  by;  some  positive  errand  which  di- 
verts the  attention  from  self. 

It  is  a  good  plan  to  carry  something  to  distribute,  so 
that  one  may  have  a  reason  for  approaching  every  bed- 
side, aud  speaking  to  every  man.  In  this  way  an  ac 
quaintance  begins  naturally,  and  being  once  established, 
all  awkwardness  is  overcome.     I  have  taken  a  basket 


under  whose  lei-n  Luther  n>-e    t

Since  Mr.  Kirk's  history  has  appeared,  the 
quired  additional  interest,  nod  I  embrace  this 
ofdcsciiuiuir  it.    On  the  obverse  is  the  head  . 
some  young  man,  with  very  long  hair,  and  a 
rian  look,  although  without  beard.    Around 
gend:     "Maximilian.  Magnasim.  Arohtdi 
Burqond.  Etatis  19."      On    the  reverse  Is  the  agreeable 
countenance  of  the  Princess  Mary  (daughter  of  Charlc  ,  (he

In  every  respect,  we  can  record  that  the  Fair  has  been 
most  happy  success.     "  Many  daughters  have  done  vir- 
tuously, but  thou  excellest  them   all."     Chicago,  C'tncin- 
and  Boston  have  been  most  liberal,   but  the  contri- 
butions of  Brooklyn  to  the  Sanitary  Commission  exceed 
value  those  of  any  one  of  thuse  cities.  We  state  this  in 
spirit  of  rivalry  or  triumph,  but  simply  record  it  as  a 
t,  and  as    a    subject    of    congratulation  for  all  who 
)    interested    in    the    furtherance    of    the    patriotio 
work    of    the    Sanitary     Commission.     We    may  also 
pardoned  for    indulging    in    a  little  self-complacent 
rejoicing    over    ,thc      success      of     our    paper.    The 
Drum  Beat    issued    5,000    copies    on    the  first  day  of 
pubbcation,  and  0,000  on  each  succeeding  day  ;  and 
these  copies  Bwere  so  rapidly  sold    out  that  we  aro 
constantly  obliged  to  di.~npi.oint    applicants    for  fileB  of 
back  numbers.    There  is    no  doubt  that  ten  thousand 
copies  could  have  been  sold    without  difficulty,  for  tho 
news-boys— shrewd  little  fellows— who  quickly  find  out 
what  will  sell,  and  are  influenced  rather  by  tho  avail- 
ability than  by  patriotism,  could   not  get  enough  copies 
to  carry  out  their  remunerative  little  speculations  in  the 
paper.     It  is  still  more  gratifying  for  us  to  be  able  to  an- 
nonnce  that  The  Dbuh  Beat  has  proved  a  very  happy 
monetary  success,  thanks  to  the  kind  liberality  of  the  Fair- 
going  public,  who  so  bberally  purchased  it,  and  to  the 
munificence  of  a  citizen  of  [Brooklyn  who  paid  from  his 
nwn  pocket  all  the  expenses  of   printing.     As   a  general 
of  I  thing,  wo  have,  too,  to  return  our  thanks  to  our  brethren 
HI '  of  the  press  who  kindly  welcomed  The  Drum-Beat  with 
ir-   words    of    approval     and     encouragement.      At    least 
irs  |  a  mouth   is  inevitably  required  to  get    even  a  small 
daily  paper  into  regular  nmniii;.c  onlc-i;  but  tho  cplieme- 
existeuce  of  The  Dnc.u  Beat— its  short  life  of  two 
weeks— hardly  gave  an  opportunity  to  get  the  enterprise 
fairly  started.     What  has   been  done,  has  been  done, 
however,  with  a  hearty  desiro  to  benefit  tho  cause,  and 
again  happy  to  say  that  the  receipts  from  The 
Drum  Beat  will  uoi  be  anion--    lie-  smallest  items  which 
swell  up  the  profits  accruing  from  the  Brooklyn 
and  Long  Island  Sanitary  Fair.

into  insignificance  beside  tin-  hugely  looming  proport 
of  the  colossal  Pinciishiun  Prnbhm.  To  go  through  the 
Fair  one  would  think  that  for  the  loat  year  the  female 
mind  of  Long  Island  had  been  exercised  in  devising, 
and  thu  female  hand  in  executing,  incredible  stores  o( 
pincushions,  of  every  conceivable  device  and  pattern. 
Some  of  them  are  as  large  as  pillows,  and  might  be  ad- 
vantageously used  in  that  capacity  ;  while  others  are 
built  in  the  deceptive  forms  of  dolls  or  of  slippers,  as  if 
they  were  rather  ashamed  than  otherwise  of  being  pin- 
cushions, and  wished  to  be  thought  scmething  else.  It 
is  said  that  through  the  kind  instrumentality  of  the 
Sanitary  Fair  ladieB  there  is  now  a  cushion  for 
every  pin  in  Brooklyn,  and  that  even  in  some  localities, 
where  the  piu-pnpuliii  i.-n  is  limih  d.  one  pin  will  have  to 
use  two  pincushions,  straddling,  as  it  were,  from  one  to 
the  other,  like  a  ciicus-rider  on  two  horses.  In  case  of 
an  attack  on  New  York,  it  is  urged  that  these  pincush- 
ions might  take  the  place  of  sand-bags  in  the  erection  of 
hasty  defences  ;  but  it  is  to  bo  hoped  that  there  will  be 
no  need  for  sucli  a  patriotic  disposition  of  them.  Certain 
it  is  that  no  one  has  now  an  excuse  for  being  without 
pincushions,  while  at  the  same  lime  the  old  query, 
"  "What  becomes  of  the  pins,"  is  quite  eclipsed  by  the 
mare  perplexing  problem. 'What  W// become  of  all  the 


In  the  Art  Gallery  has  "been  lately  placed  u  plaster 
cast  of  the  late  Rev.  Dr.  Cutler,  rector  of  St.  Ann's 
Church.  It  is  the  work  of  the  Brooklyn  sculptor,  Mr. 
W.  C.  Philip,  and  besides  being  an  excellent  likeness,  is 

remarkable  as  having  been  nnghmliy  moulded  by  Mr. 
Philip  from  a  6imil)  photographic  portrait  of  the  lament- 
ed clergyman. 

Another  amusing    little   incident    occurred    yesterday 
in  the  Art  Gallery.     Some  how  or  other,  a  Bmall   tag  or 
ticket,  legibly  marked  "fifty  cents,"  became  attached   to 
the  wooden  rail,  protecting  from  the  crowd  of  gazers 
oil  sketches  intended  for  the  Artists'   Album.     A    good 
woman,  looking  at  tie-  Sketches,  happened  tosee  the  tag 
and  immediately  went  to  the  desk,  and  said  to  the  very 
polite  young  lady  in  attendance,  "I   want  three,  of  t 
pictures."     The  young  huly.  sm  p-'singthe   woman  t 
ed  to  subscribe,  handed  her  the  book;  but  the  eai 
bargainer  rutin-]-  iiMiginmi  l_v  t-v.-Iaimed  "I  don't  waut 
book;  I  want  three   pictures."     She  was  told  that 
paintings  were  not  now  offered  for  sale,  but  lor  subs, 
tiun  ;  to  which  she  replied,  that  the  price  marked   01 
card  was  fifty  cents  apiece,  and  that  she,  wanted  t 
pictures."     It  was  some  time  before   she  could  be 
vinced  that  half-a-dollar  each,  was  somewhat   below 
prirvs  which  ilie  Managers  of  the    Fair    hope    to  rei 
from  the  Artists"  sketches. 

It  appears  that  the  President  of  the  United  States  has 
kindly  shown  an  active  interest  in  our  Fair.  Rev.  Mr. 
Woodruff,  of  the  Hanson  Place  M.  E.  Church  in  this 
city,  during  an  interview  with  President  Lincoln  on 
Wednesday,  obtained  an  autograph  letter  to  the  New 
England  Kitchen,  which  was  handsomely  announced 
yesterday  at  the  dinner-table  of  the  Kitchen,  by  Mr.  W 
S.  Murray,  and  instantly  sold  for  one  hundred  dollars  to 
C.  H.  Mallory,  Esq..  of  Mystic  Bridge.  Connecticut. 

We  wish  we  had  a  few  more  autographs  from  the  hon- 
est President ;  but  in  default  of  this,  we  give  a  copy  of 
his  letter,  as  follows  :

We  take  pleasure  in  recording  here  the  results  of  the 
patriotic  efforts  of  the  Thirteenth  Regiment  of  the  Na- 
tional Guard  of  this  State,  to  alleviate  the  sufferings  of 
their  companions  in  the  field.  The  Promenade  Coucert 
given  on  the  10th  of  February  last  by  the  Regiment, 
resulted  in  a  net  profit  of  four  thousand  and  eleven  dol- 
lars, which  was  duly  passed  over  to  Mr.  Lambert,  Chair- 
man  of  the  Committee  on  Entertainments,  and  by  him  to 
the  treasury  of  the  Fair,  as  per  Iub  acknowledgment  in 
our  pop^r  of  Thursday.  The  expenses  of  the  Concert 
—over  §1,000— have  all  been  paid   by  the  voluntary  con- 


men  have  also  raised  a  subscription  among 
and  have  bought  the  beautiful  National 
Flag  contributed  by  some  ladies,  to  the  Fair  to  be  sold 
for  $100.  and  presented  to  some  Brooklyn  Regiment  now 
in  the  field.  This  flag  they  intend,  in  a  spirit  of  the 
most  brotherly  esprit  du  corps,  to  present  to  the  "  Nine- 
tieth Regiment  N.  T.  Vols.,  Col.  Morgan,"  now  in  the

several  wealthy  gentlemen  connected  with  the  man- 
agement of  the  Fair,  to  express  their  satisfaction  at  iN 
success  in  every  respect  with  the  Concert,  ordered  from 
Tiffany  &  Co.,  New  York,  a  very  beautiful  Btand  of  colors, 
which  they  propose  to  present  10  the  Thirteenth,  a?  soon 
as  completed.  It  is  a  worthy  compliment  to  a  brave,  as 
well  as  a  benevolent  body  of  men. 

From  a  far  off  country—  from  the  capital  of  the  king- 
dom of  Bavaria — the  managers  of  the  Fair  have 
a  contribution  of  three  hundred  dollars.  It  cm

i.JINTLEMEN 


i  yesterday,  in 
j  hundred  articles, 
it  by  the  young 
» Heights. 
There  is  a  department  of  the  Fair  which  deserves  a  far 
greater  share  of  grateful  recognition  than   it  has  yet  re- 
ceived. It  is  the  Reception  Committee. 

These  ladies  have  th*--!.  leMdo,ILarh-]-s  in  the  apartment 
opening  upon  the  stage  at  the  extreme  northeast  corner 
of  the  building  Here,  a  week  before  the  Fair  opened, 
the  ladies  of  the  Committee  on  Internal  Arrangements. 
with  Mrs.  G.  B.Archer  as  Chairman,  were  on  hand  to 
receive  goods.  This  Committee  subdivided  itself  into 
divers  other  Committees,  such  as  the  Committee  on  Al- 
lotment of  Tables  and  Arrangement  of  Goods,  consisting 
of  Mrs.  J.  C.  Smith,  Mrs.  D.  Fairbanks,  Mrs.  J.  Ellis, 
Mrs.  J.  D.  Sparkman,  Mrs.  J.  C.  Atwater,  Mrs.  N.  Bur- 
chard,  Mrs.  S.  Lukens,  Mrs.  A.  McCue,  Mrs.  Uukhart; 
the  Committee  on  Reception  of  Goods,  consisting  of  Mrs. 
G.  S.  Stephenson,  Mrs.  S.  II.  Low,  Mrs.  J.  Maxwell,  Mrs. 
M.  F.  Odell.  and  Mrs.  W.  I  Budington  ;  the  Committee 
Appraisal  of  Goods,  consisting  of  Mrs.  J.  P.  Van  Ber- 
gen, Mrs.  A.  Trask,  Mrs.  A.  M.  White,  Mrs.  E.  Shapter, 
Mrs.  S.  McLean,  Mrs.  Dr.  King,  Mrs.  J.  C.  Smith,  Mrs. 
D.  Fairbanks,  Mrs.  J.  D.  Sparkman,  Mrs.  J.  C.  Atwater 
and  Mrs.  N.  Burchard;  and  the  Committee  on  Classifica- 
tion of  Goods,  consisting  of  Miss  Thurston,  Mrs.  Brad- 
shaw,  Mrs.  J.  W.  Emery,  Mrs.  J.  S.  Morrelle,  and  Mrs.  F. 
B.  Nichols.  Besides  these,  there  was  a  small  Committee 
Neighboring  Town-.  m<  Indium  Mrs.  Judge  Vanderbilt, 
Flatbush  ;  Mrs.  Wychoff,  for  Astoria,  and  Mrs.  W. 
Coggswell,  lor  Jamaica. 

The  ladies  have  received  i|„.  goods,  have  separated  and 
appraised  them,  setting  upon  them  a  tair  valuation,  have 
allotedthem  their  places  in  the  Fair,  and  have,  indeed, 
the  brains  of  the  entire  internal  arrangements,  as 
i  the  disposition  of  the  vast  majority  of  the  contribu- 
tions to  the  Fair  was  concerned.  To  do  all  this  has  in- 
vast  amount  of  labor,  both  of  head  and  hand, 
ladies  have  worked  unflincliingly,  often  from 
ick  in  the  morning  till  nine  at  night ;  and  for 
these  kind  and  faithful  services— this  close  attention  to 
vho  visit  the 
Fair  ever  think,  only  enjoying  the  results  and  utterly 
oblivious  as  to  the  cause— for  all  these  quiet,  and  some- 
times thankless  tasks.  The  Drtjm-Beat  would  here  ex- 
press the  acknowledgments  of  those  who  best  understand 
of   the  services  so  liberally  ren- 

also  to  acknowledge  the  efficiency 
the    Executive  Committee    with 


of  The  DRUM  Beat  to  know  that  fro
